I simply used Mothers mag and aluminum polish and a little elbow grease on a cotton t shirt rag.

I used to clean it with Flitz, but I gave up. It just gets a wipe down now and maybe some brushing for carbon buildup.

Pro tip is that blued guns don’t show this!

You’re just making the cylinder gap bigger

This cloth does a great job on SS carbon build up, & will remove light surface rust on carbon guns & leave a lasting protection.

Mothers mag and aluminum wheel polish

I have some felt rags I bought with some kind of coconut infused stuff, and it cleans those burn rings right off. No chemicals that I am aware of. Amazing. Bought them from a guy on a 1911 forum.

Apply some ol' fashioned Hoppes bore cleaner with a q tip. Leave it be for a while, wipe off.

Your method works, and will for a long time. But polishing compound IS an abrasive (super fine, though it may be) keep in mind that it does remove metal as well as buildup.

Apply that technique to a brushed/matte stainless finish and you will understand.

Sounds good. But I do hesitate to use polish on firearms...I know it would take years and years probably, but removing metal aint a high priority for me.

Clean? Why? It just gets dirty again

Most of mine are magic. I clean them and they never get dirty again. 😎

Bought them from a guy on a 1911 forum.

He gave them to us for way below the retail cost.
