    Miracle cloth, or something like that. Yellow oily cloth, made by Outers or Hoppe's or one of the big outfits. Polishes it right off.Be aware that anything you use to remove the burn marks will do so by also removing metal.

    I've seen the lead rags used for stainless guns. Works good, but will almost wipe the blue right off a non stainless gun.

    Boy, you got skid marks... Thats what we call them, the black marks on the front of your cylinder from firing alot without cleaning.Try a nylon tooth brush and some CLP bore cleaner, it works.
