I used "Turtle Wax" polishing compound which contains a light abrasive vice their rubbing compound which is a little more agressive. I figured start out fine then if that doesn't work out, move up to something heavier.

I checked the rails before and after application, and just as John indicated it polished the blue off the high spots.

John just specified "pumice" mixed with about 1 to 4 with grease. I used about a 40/60 ratio with Hoppes gun grease as the polishing compound is quite fine.

Johns referance post was dated 5 Dec 2000, so it fell off the edge a long time ago, but I see he still posts here, so maybe he will chime in with more information.

It's good to see Ted (Thor), Marvin, Kyrie, Dok, Tom Heller, BCC, Wombat and others of the original crew still post frequently, all the Luger knowledge anyone would care to know.
