Years ago, I did use 0000 steel wool, but I currently use 0000 bronze wool, with gun oil applied and LIGHTLY rub to remove any rust spots. Yes, it may leave a spot, but you have to stop the rust. I agree that any abrasive used should be last resort. As Tom stated, a spot will probably be left.
Edit - I almost forgot..... I have been using BLue Wonder Cleaner to remove rust spots lately. I have not tried this on a Luger yet, so no experience there. I place a small amount on a pice of cloth and rub lightly. it works great. Any of you guys have any experience with BLue Wonder?
