Sandpaper and wax job
So I finally decided to buff out a few deep scratches on my favorite daily carry using 500, 1000, and 1200 grit wet sandpaper (used CLP to wet) and Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish. Four hours later, no more deep scratches on my now very shiny 21 year old 640-1!

Looking very good. A little fine paper, polish and elbow grease can really get a gun ready for the BBQ and draw all the attention.

Great look, limhyl.
Here's my 640-1 work in progress. I used Mother's on the cylinder and barrel a few days ago.
