Get yourself some Mothers mag polish and have at it. It will shine like nickle when you're done.
JMHO,

Yes the whole gun is stainless. You cant polish anything off. I wouldnt suggest getting any of your hand guns wet.

The only thing you can polish off is the engraving if you really go at it. I wouldn't use water, I use light oil with sandpaper. Then use polishes.

Tried that on my Glock 35, but it came out just as ugly.
I don't use water on my guns because the formula for rust is steel plus water. You would not believe some of the places I have found rust hiding on guns.

I use flitz to polish my stainless guns. When the black oxidation stops forming she is done.
