Removing soot marks from a 629 cylinder???

The lead away cloth is cheap and works so much better than any of the other products, it's a no brainer.
If you have and shoot a 617, you know how dirty and high owb much lead gets around the forcing cone and top strap, I cut very small pieces of the cloth and work them in there with a dental pick.
I also clean inside the forcing cone on all my revolvers with small pieces on the end of chop stick, or wrapped around a large wooden qtip.
 
The leadcast bullets are coated with a moly spray. The little lead clean up is so easy now.

I've been using Miracle Cloths for 30 years. They work well even when dark and filthy. Cut off the size you need. I even use it in the cylinder chambers. It's also very effective at removing bluing. I'm guessing it very similar to the Birchwood Casey Lear Remover cloth.
 
I like coconut oil and a Qtip on stainless to remove stains. BUT NEVER on blue guns. JIM FLYNN
 
I just purchased my first 629. I will pick up the Birchwood lead cloth but this is my favorite cleaning product of all: Kroil. It creeps like nothing else! I've use it to remove lead with just a tight fitting patch. Use your best product to clean carbon, etc. Once you are satisfied then run a patch soaked in Kroil.
 
Ed's Red Bore Cleaner , it's a DIY mix just google the name for the recipe, and a toothbrush. Spray some on and let it soak for a few minutes then spay again and scrub with the brush....takes it right off.
Everything you need to mix a gallon of Ed's Red can be bought at Wally Mart for under $20.00 . Good stuff !
