I have an older S&W 9mm and it had a bit of surface rust on it. i used break free CLP on it with 000 steel wool as directed by a smith at my local gun store. and 99% came off the first application. Then i wiped it all down and drenched a dish rag in the CLP and wrapped the gun up in it (minus the grip) for about 4-5 hrs and then did another thorough job on it with a cleaning (gun) rag and oiled the entire gun and it looks 10x's better. I did notice a tiny pitted spot (not very deep or big) near the front site. I took it in and having it done (fine bead blasted) and re blued for 70.00. I will pick it up on wednesday. He said it would have a satin finish on it and look like new.
