Cleaning scorch from cylinder of SS

[PRM]

Personally. I just clean mine and don't worry a lot about a little "color." If it really bothers you, get some Mother's Mag Polish and a hand towel. It will pretty much just wipe off.

Why remove it? I'm not saying you should let it cake up and interfere with function, but to me that left-behind carbon color gives a revolver character. Like when I'm buying a used car, I get suspicious if a revolver I'm considering looks too clean.

Way back i nthe early 1970's I had some of the early S&W stainless guns, and I think one time I used Zud (?), a household stainless steel sink cleaner. It took the carbon off the front of the cylinder so well, it looked like a new gun. Don't know if they still make that product, but a good stainless cleaner might work as well. I saw no harmful effects. Justy looked new; even when I sold it.

Get some Mother's mag and wheel cleaner, it'll clean that thing up like new, and won't wear the metal down either!

Actually Mothers is an abrasive, just the mildest one. I have tried them all.
