a few of mine are stainless, too, but all are black, Nitron or Tenifer, with the exception my blue blackhawk.

my wife owns a couple Ruger wheelguns with stainless finish... i don't know how to take the small scratches off the barrel... is there an easy and/or inexpensive way to deal with that?

A friend of mine uses Scotch brite, fine grit sandpaper, sharpening stones and a nail polish board that he bought from a hair styling supply house. The board is impregnated with diamond dust.

The problem is, I don't know in what order he uses this stuff. I want him to write it down but he couldn't explain it. He wanted me to watch the three hour process.

He also uses the glass bead blaster from work. He can take a field grade pistol and create a mirror finish.

I'll keep after him to explain how he does it and I'll try to remember to ping you.

I think he uses:

1. The sharpening stones.
2. The sandpaper.
3. The Scotch Brite for the small areas.
4. The diamond polish board.

I did use Flitz polishing compound on a nickeled surface and it came out great. I almost sent it out to be refinished and it came out nice.

Stop in at Bell Helicopter or Granger Inc and get some 6000 grit ( yes six thousand grit) wet dry paper that they use to buff the scratches off a windscreen.

Works very well for minor scratches and if they are deeper then the 3M green scotch brite that was suggested above is a first step, with the 6000 grit paper and then some flitz or other magical panther piss to polish up her inox pistola (can I say that ?)

Stay Safe !!
