I suppose I would need to see before and after pics to decide if it was a good idea or not. I wouldn't do any kind of cleaning that would remove even the slightest amount of original case color though. Erasers are abrasive and will leave minute scratches in the metal. I understand your point on the gunmetal grey finish. It is atractive in a lot of cases, but original patina will trump a cleaned up or polished appearance for most collectors.
Please post pics if you can, maybe I'll think it was a great idea!
