Here's what was passed onto to me to remove rust and scratches...

Go to the hardware store and get yourself some 0000 steel wool. Use that in combination with some good penetrating oil, ie.. Kroil, CorrosionX, etc...

Rub with the grain of the metal.

Good luck.

OK..Here is a pic. The scratches are not deep..it just bugs me that they are there on my CBOB!

The way the light is hitting it makes it look like it's dented but it is not.

Thank You,
Now, I read somewhere that you should not use steelwool on stainless steel.
Anyone know for sure?

This is the holster that allowed my jeans to get nasty w/my slide!



These pics were taken when I wore dress-pants and sport coats.

that is what I heard also. it is possible for particles of the steel wool to imbed in the stainless.....and then they rust.

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