I just bought a Colt Anaconda 6" w/box yesterday and paid $800 for it. The stainless steel is in good condition but it is not where I would like it to be. I already shot the gun and it is a great shooter, very accurate and a lot of fun. I was just wondering, is there anything I can do to improve the looks of this gun? The Stainless has some scratches in it and it is definitely not a new look, I don't know if I'll ever sell this if that helps, in other words, I'm not concerned if it hurts the resale value to have it cleaned/buffed. I also probably won't be shooting it that often, maybe once every couple of months if that, any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob

I have polished stainless guns with both a buffing wheel and/or a dremel tool with a cloth, polishing/buffing head. I have used different bar-type compounds with varying success, but the best ones have seemed to be the black ones used for general cleaning-not a high polish compound. If your buffer motor or dremel tool turns with suffieciently high RPM's, it should be a satisfactory shine. Also, the more coarse compound will remove any spot rust or pitting if its not too deep. Just be careful not to remove too much metal and you should like your results.

Get some Flitz sit and watch TV and Flitz the hell out of it,may be a couple of applications then wax it with a good quality high concentrate of carnuaba wax.A great potential for disaster using a Dremel tool on firearms,it's firearms abuse to me.

It's a good point. I make knives as a hobby, so I have some experience in metal polishing. You really might want to use some flitz as a safe alternative to power tools. I'd hate to be in any way responsible for ruining any firearm - much less an heirloom piece like that.

Try some Mother's Mag Polish (automotive wheel polish). Gentle and buffs stainless guns to a mirror shine with some elbow grease.
