green/yellow - the most abrasive
Blue/blue ---slightly abrasive (safe on teflon)
Pink/white --mildly abrasive

I use the white/pink on nickel guns, but the blue/blue works on all but the worst burns.

Have you done this on matte/bead blast finished stainless? Does it make the finish less "matte"?
If you are concerned about abrasives on stainless, Birchwood-Casey lead remover cloth can be your friend, esp. the area between the top strap and the forcing cone. Don't use it on blued finishes. Use a bronze brush and a suitable cleaning compound for the bores of the barrel and cylinder.
