Does this really work on Parkerizing? Like I mentioned above, I have experimented some on junk parts and anything I have used so far has just penetrated the Parkerizing and etched the metal underneath. In most cases it would etch the metal before you could even see any differences in the Parkerizing. The Parkerizing just stays there as a wet sponge and you won't know what's happening underneath until you scrape it off. It appears like it won't come off until the metal it's attached to is gone, so it seems kinda dangerous to me.

A very fine mist of bead blasting took the park of his Luger in a heart beat, never did that with nickel or chrome. I immediate put rust bluing solution on the metal and rust blued his side plate for a test, worked fine, all park gone gone! and no noticeable degregation of markings!
