Ever try Never-Dull?

thegundude · 08-16-2005, 10:07 PM

I use it on the chrome on my scooter but was wondering if anyone had tried it on guns...

Well, I gave it a go this evening and it worked pretty good. The very mild abrasive wool and polishing compound seem to clean up the dirt and stuff, but it gets stuck on the nooks and crannies a bit(just like when you polish a car)...

Anyone ever tried it before?

Yeah Pete, that's the stuff....

Used tons of it in the Navy. The best brass polish in existance, but highly flammable. Keep it away from heat or an open flame.

Fantastic stuff, but not recommended for use on a blue finish of guns. It cleans all bare metals very well without creating any scratches.

Ever considered it for use on guns?

Yeah, it smells flammable...

thegundude · 08-16-2005, 11:27 PM

Ooops, sorry Albert. It looks like we posted at the same time...

Thanks for the tip. I tried it on a SS gun first before trying it on a blued gun. Good thing, huh?

MP Corps, used it a lot too!

Works best on brass or the like, it is abrasive, so....

It's not that abrasive.... less so than 0000 wool......

And yeah, it kind of reminds me of cordite, like the stuff they used in old ammo....

I used to use BRASSO for brass polishing in the army... probably the same stuff under a different brand... as I recall it was also flammable.

I use Brasso for polishing casings before reloading.... Great stuff....

Watch using BRASSO to polish casings. I've been told that it will soften the brass, May be an old wifes tale. Has anyone else heard this?

thegundude · 08-19-2005, 04:43 PM

I've used it for years and years on .44 magnums and have never had a problem with it. In fact, I have some that I've loaded one too many times that are just fine.

I've seen the Material Safety Data Sheet and patent info for NeverDull... It has mineral spirits as the prime ingredient. It is also listed as a corrosive as well. If you leave enough residue on a metal long enough it will eat into it. For most polishing applications there is seldom enough residue to matter though. Most coin dealers will shudder if you mention it by name though. I've been tempted to get an ultrasonic cleaner to de-lube my sized cases.
