Small scratches on CBOB!
I've noticed some small scratches on the left side of the slide, close to the muzzle, on my stainless CBOB!
(I discovered how the scratches got there, but I will save that for later) Is there a way to remove these (light) scratches without changing the look or finish of my beloved CBOB? I know I could send it out and have it done professionally, but I would rather do it myself. I don't have an air compressor, but I do have a dremel, fine sandpaper, and that sort of stuff..along with some free time. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated. P.S. I no longer use my JAK-SLIDE holster when wearing bluejeans. My LEVI jeans have little rivet-type things (one on each side of the front pockets) that will scratch the exposed slide of my gun, as I get-up, sit-down, and whatever, during the coarse of any given day. If you have this type of belt-slide-over the waist-minimalist holster..I bet you're checking out the pockets of your jeans, and the slides of your guns right now. Right?

Here's what was passed onto to me to remove rust and scratches...
Go to the hardware store and get yourself some 0000 steel wool. Use that in combination with some good penetrating oil, ie.. Kroil, CorrosionX, etc... Rub with the grain of the metal. Good luck.

 OK..Here is a pic. The scratches are not deep..it just bugs me that they are there on my CBOB! The way the light is hitting it makes it look like it's dented but it is not.

Now, I read somewhere that you should not use steelwool on stainless steel. Anyone know for sure?
