I've used Mother's Mag polish on a number of stainless revolvers with a "brushed finish". With enough even applications, the guns usually turn out looking great IMO. If you keep going, you can get them looking nearly as shiny as nickel, but not quite.
I have a S&W with a "satin" finish. It looks fine, but I rather like my revolvers to have a bit of shine. The satin finish also seems easier to scratch than the brushed.
So I'm thinking about hand polishing the gun, but I'm not sure how the finish will turn out. So I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience hand polishing a "satin finish" which is basically a flat matte finished stainless steel, for those who are unfamiliar. This is not a gun I am going to ever sell, as it's one of my favorites, so I'm not terribly concerned with keeping it all original.
