You were stronger back then. lolWhen I was a kid, I used to use Semichrome for my knives, but it's rather pricy these days, so I've tried Mother's and Flitz which work but seem to require more rubbing than Semichrome.
No danger in the Scoth-brite pads scratching the gun more? I guess what I have picture is a Brillo pad.The gray Scoth-brite pads will give pretty much a factory finish. Ive used them for scratches on some of my stainless guns with good results. Just go easy with them and take your time.
Next best thing would be a bead blast.
Thank you. I will give it a try.I thought that at first too, but they were recommended by a number of people so I gave it a try and was very happy with the results.
They give more of a Matte finish than something that looks polished.
