Revolver cleaning question

[DDGator]

I am cleaning up a .357 for sale/trade. It is stainless. It has some stubborn black deposits inside the cylinder flutes and along the outside front edge of the cylinder.

I tried Hoppes #9, and I tried my old lead wipe away cloth (10 years old?). This took some off, but not enough?

Any suggestions as to how I get rid of these?

Flitz polish and/or a new lead away cloth should do the trick.

Chrome polish and a toothbrush will make it shine like new.

Try a pencil eraser. Sounds stupid but quite often it works. At least it will get it a little farther along. Flitz and Hoppes together applied with a tooth brush and some elbow grease will clean it up too.

BLACK STAINS

An ordinary lead pencil eraser is the best thing I've found to remove this stain.

For cylinder face, unless I have some of that Lead Wipe Away, I use a stainless steel brush. As for the cylinder flutes, same (unless the gun is one of those highly polished SS).
