polishing
I like to Clean my guns especially new purchases. we use an old battery operated ROTARY toothbrush with wd40 as a cleaning agent. This solvent is mild and cleans the grease , grime and worn in dirt out of the engraving as well as the screw slots leaving your gun CLEAN and sparkling without damaging the finish.
try it on a small area and buff with soft terry cloth. I know you will be happy with this method as it really works great.:bigbye: good luck Legh Higgins |

Brillo and elbow grease!

I have used Flitz Gun Wax (NOT Flitz Polish) to clean (and protect) actions of vintage doubles. Removes grime (impressive black stuff on a soft white cloth after lightly polishing) without removing case colors or shining up the metal.

In the FAQs Section of the Home Page denatured alcohol is mentioned for cleaning grease and dirt from our guns.
Brand names are avoided there, but here is a list of liquid cleaners and/or protectants that I have noted individual Parker collectors have recommended. Please feel free to challenge, add or comment: Clenzoil Ballistol WD-40 Rem-oil Hoppes #9 (inside, and one Member says out, too) Barricade G96 RIG 3- in- 1 And for the paste wax protectants: Flitz (wax; not the polish) Renaissance Johnson IBIZ (The FAQs Section advises against automotive or synthetic waxes, as they contain abrasives and acids.) |
