[QUOTE="Diamondback 2/2, post: 22842, member: 157"] DO NOT USE A GREEN PAD OR STEEL WOOL!!! I was given a WW2 ara 1911 by my dad, a few years back. It had some pitting and rust areas, I am sure the 1911 was parkerized at first. However, my dad must have had it refinished with bluing. Anyway, use CLP and a terry cloth. It takes a long time and your arms will get sore, but you will not screw up the gun. My reason for saying this is if you decide to refinish it in the future. The steel wool/ green pad, will leave a rough spot on the metal. Then you have to have the metal polished, and that could cause the bluing to come out different from the original finish. When you get the surface rust off, make sure it is not pitting. If so, you will need to use a toothbrush and penetrating oil. (Softly) If you scrub too hard with a toothbrush, you can cause more wear in those areas. [/QUOTE]
