Scotchbrite pads are what I heard to use. Auto body supply places and maybe hardware stores should have different grits.

not to be contrary but, would someone please explain to me how steel wool, especially 0000, which is very soft, would embed itself in SS which is actually harder. I mean, you guys do clean off a gun after you do something like this, don't you?

It's just something I've heard. Could just be an old wives tale..

I heard the same thing.

Microscopic voids in the metal will collect the iron molecules from the steel wool???

Sounds good.
