My roa, while ss, has corrosion, some spots in the barrel, in the frame where the trigger and hammer go, and on most of the moving parts. The frame area above where the caps go off also has some pitting and it likes to collect fouling along with where the hammer strikes the cap. I had olive oil around the house but that formed a solid mud in those areas. I cleaned up both the frame , hammer and other parts with some 320 grit emery, but still get the same collection points.
I tried some nu finish car wax in those areas and find less fouling and it wipes away with a wet rag. It worked so well I stripped the gun down and did everything except inside the barrel. I notice much less fouling and clean up is a wipe away. It has been in the teens and low 20's around here so I have not fired more then 15 rounds in one session, therefor I can not say how quickly the wax will erode. I had been pulling the gun down every session and putting it in the sonic cleaner because the pitting inside the frame collected residue like a magnet, now it stays clean. Presently I am shooting triple 7. just curious if anyone has tried this.
