Re: Removing scratch in Brass?
Not really the Flitz product for use on shiny brass. This version contain ammonia which will cause the brass to more quickly patina between uses. It also removes bluing! http://henryrifleforums.com/viewtopic.p ... ish#p63507
The packaging also recommends use of a microfiber cloth. On shiny brass the microfiber will leave very fine line scratches.
Use this instead https://www.flitz.com/rifle-gun-knife-wax/

it is not nearly aggressive enough to remove any scratches but
it makes the brass look AMAZING!!
I made sure to be careful around the blued screws but I was shocked to see how filthy the rag was after using it on what I thought was already a pretty shiny receiver. It then of course lead to be flitzing all of the brass and man oh man you can use it for a mirror.
Well .. then it lead to cleaning and waxing all the wood and using a dozen or so q tips to get the tough to reach spots and ... well after almost 3 hours ... what I thought was already a beautiful rifle is now a work of art .. but
How the hell do I go shoot it now!!
