    Bluing cleaner and polish.

    Hi all,

    Can anyone recommend a bluing cleaner and polish, I bought some white creamy stuff (don't get carried away now) from Welsh Willy a few years ago which was called 'stock and blue polish' and it really brought haggard bluing back to life, you'd just wipe some over the bluing and the cloth would be brown from all the muck lifted from the bluing, unfortunately Will can't get anymore as the company that made it went under, so just wondered if there was an alternative?

    Cheers

    Pete

    Try Ballistol, Pete.

    It works for me. It even used to clean the small amount of rust out of the cocking grip on my TX after a long session.

    All of the above.

    Which product are you using as all I can see is oil or is that what I'm supposed to be looking at?

    Yes, I just use the standard Ballistol on a soft cloth.

    All of the above.

    Right ok, I'll have a look out for that then, I know the oil I use at the moment gets a certain amount of rust off as the cloth is brown afterwards but the stuff I got from Will really got rid of rust spots and brown tinges you could see in the blue when held up in the light, which I can still see in the bluing on the underlever on the rifle I've just bought.
