What is the best method for cleaning the metal surfaces on the Rem 870. I find that the sandpaper finish is very hard to clean and if I use any kind of cloth my gun ends up covered in lint. I'm not really fond of this kind of finish but I love the gun. Is this really blued? If not, then what? Help!

Are you talking about the electroless nickel? What model is it?

I brush off rough finishes with a toothbrush and if necessary, use some solvent or just some CLP Breakfree on the brush to help remove heavy fouling.
I also use clean toothbrushes to apply a fresh coat of CLP Breakfree.
The brush allows working the lube into the rough finish.
The Express finish is standard hot salts bluing applied over a bead blasted surface.
As long as you keep the rough surface impregnated with lube, it's pretty durable.

Yes it is blued-over-blasted metal as Dfariswheel has said.
I use CLP (SHAKE WELL) and some patches that I bought at a show. I have had trouble finding them since but they are round and appear to be woven, like a basket. They hold the CLP and grab dirt and do not shed all over the Express finish. I use regular large cotton square patches for the bore & bolt.
