[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 402681, member: 15636"] Brass might work, I'm not saying it can't on some finishes or spots ... but I'm sure not chancing it. Collectors and museum firearm preservationists use and recommend that Frontier cloth [color=#FF0000][b](only $6!)[/b][/color], so for anything worth $$$$ value, I myself wouldn't take the chance it otherwise - just saying. I've successfully used it on an early model Winchester high wall that was easily worth $2,000 as purchased and then sold for >2X that as 'cleaned up'. I also used it on a 6" blued Colt Python that I bought 'cheap' because it had some [i]'frosting'[/i] on it due to the house where the safe was (in basement) had a fire and the finish was allegedly ruined. Sold that later for 4X the purchase price! FWIW I have also handled guns and/or gun barrels where the bluing in an area that was hit by steel/copper wool or Scotchbrite has been permanently dulled. The Frontier cloth doesn't have that same dulling affect ... it retains the original finish and patina, less the surface rust of course. As with anything, people can use what they wish ... :D [/QUOTE]
