buffing a stainless revolver

winchester1 · 07-04-2009

I have a Ruger sp101 I'd like to try and get some minor scratches out. I was wondering what I should use. Also is it true mother's mag wheel polish will get me a mirror type finish with some elbow grease? thanks in advance

You will be much happier with the results using a stainless steel buffing compound...

For just getting blending scratches on Ruger revolvers, use a finer Scotch-Brite pad (can't remember the exact # that matches). Seems to match up perfectly with the factory finish. Probably the exact thing Ruger uses.
