I have a new 686 stainless, ive seen on forums where there finish can be shined so bright, the blind could see. Ive seen the after pictures, and i really like the way they look. BUT, ive seen alot of peaple say they couldnt get the finish right, and they just wanted it back to factory finish. Ive heard some say to acheive this finish they use scotch brite, chrome polish,mag wheel polish. I already like the looks of my gun, but i do like the ones that have been shined up, so my question is. Can i, or should i even attempt this ? I already like the way my gun looks, and i dont want to mess up the finish. I was just wondering if its easy to polish a stainless to a bright finish, or should i leave well enough alone. Thank you all, i appreciate your thoughts on this.
