I've probably asked this question in the past at some point but I'll ask again just to refresh my memory.
What do you use to clean stainless steel? I have a Marlin .22 mag that is in need of a serious cleaning. Light rust spots, no pitting from what I can tell. I do plan to polish it with Flitz after cleaning but I'm undecided on what to clean it with.
I have heard of the following being used with success but I have read just the opposite from other members that have had the finish on their guns monkeyed up.
Scotchbrite pad/oil
0000 steel wool/oil
copper wool/oil
pencil erasers
Copper Choreboy/oil
old copper penny/oil
What has worked for you?
I will try to add a picture of the rifle and the rust areas I am wanting to clean.
