617 lead buildup

After you get that mess out with everything that's in the gun cleaning kit, I like G96 spray myself with a good stiff brass tooth brush you can get in the plumbing dept's and sometimes paint dept's at your favorite hardware store,(and you let that sit overnite saturated) I use a polish that is made by Happich and is called Simichrome Polish. This is some really good stuff. Put it on a cotton rag and go at it. I got it at a Harley Davidson dealer. It is imported by Competition Chemicals, Inc. Iowa Falls, Iowa. 1-641-648-5121. It leaves a finish better than what comes out of Smith.

Only problem with Semi Chrome is it leaves a polished/shiney finish that doesn't match the natural stainless. I have tried them all MANY times, obviously.

I totally agree, that stuff will give a mirror finish.

I wonder if somebody will come along and give a hint on how to duplicate a S&W SS original finish!!??

I have READ Scotch pads in gray/green/blue/and polka dot but have NEVER seen a close up of a after pic of any type.
