Although this is not a collectors dream,

Instead of using a very fine (0000) steel wool, the use of fine bronze wool (which is softer than steel) is better. You may have some difficulty finding this type of wool, but maybe a good supply store will have it in stock. Use a good gun oil instead of petrol which will attack the finish. You can soak the metal parts in diesel for a few hours which is not as aggressive as petrol, but make sure that you wipe off all the diseal and then apply gun oil.

Good luck,
Albert
