This is why I was so curious about what Mr. Keenan had said in his earlier post. I have never removed a lot of metal if I have to clean up the jeweling. I generally just use my buffer and it comes right off. I use to just use crocus cloth and shoe shine it, but I like to use the buffer with the white cake and it polishes it like it needs to be without much fuss. Now and then I have to use a little more agressive compound, but not normally. I know from reading this, you wouldn't think the jeweling would wear as well as it does, but if the bolt is right to begin with and the reciever is cleaned up and polished on the inside, there isn't a problem for me.
