Trying to remove very light surface rust from pistol.
Do you have a "secret" method?
Someone said to rub a terri-cloth cloth with 3-n-1 oil to get 'er done.
How think ye? Thx>

0000 steel wool and light oil Diesel, kerosene, solvent or something. Some people get a woody over Kroil. If it works for you great, but it's never impressed me as any better than any other spray penetrant.
+1 Somebody here on GB recommended this to me. It worked great. I just used a rust prevention spray I picked up at bass pro. But the 0000 steel wool does the trick with just about any oil.
0000 steel wool, is the next best thing compared to sex when it comes to bad personal hygiene on a gun. [:D]
Just remember to use a light...er...stroke.
prefer Kroil keeping the blued surface Wet with Kroil wrapping with "paper towels and then saran wrap". for at least 24 Hours then Brass pot scrubber or Burlap bag. steel on steel I don't like.

What I like and at the same time Dislike about Kroil is that it does not wipe off very easy. Leaves a fine coat on the weapon. Most of the others evaporates too fast.
PS I don't sell this product or have any connection to anyone who does. I just like it![:)]
I agree with perry shooter about metal on metal though...
I will look into the Kroil AND the 45 frontier metal cleaner....I want to help and not hurt this project gun. Thanks again!

I just cleaned up 2 22 rifles and a shot gun that looked real bad with fine steel wool and a little light oil.I dont like Kroil on hand guns that are kept loaded.You can spray a little Kroil on a rusty surface and see the rust dissolve.Kroil has worked for me when others failed.
I personally would never use STEEL wool no matter how many 0000000 .I

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
