Mr Clean Magic Eraser
I did a morning trip to the range today with my 686 and a couple other pistols. Just got done cleaning everything afterwards and made a discovery.
Mr. Clean Magic Erasers work great on stainless steel guns for removing powder residue that even Hoppe's won't. I don't know if they'll work on a blued gun or not. I'm not willing to try as I've used them on my aluminum boat and they will remove paint. I don't know if they'll remove bluing or not, but on stainless steel they work great.

I've cleaned synthetic rifle stocks with Magic Eraser, works great. I'd be pretty cautious about putting it to a blued finish. It is capable of ruining some finishes.

Use them to clean up plastic gun parts in the pawn shop. Only down side, rough textured grips wil really shred them

I'm not surprised. They are made of melamine, and melamine foam is abrasive.

Melamine is a mild abrasive and will clean many things - it will also scratch and remove finishes if used often. Use it wisely and cautiously.

The abrasive Magic Eraser will remove a blue or black gun finish .
Be very careful with it on/around blued guns.
