SR9c barrel after Mothers Mag polish

[ColdDayInHell]

My barrel is blinding now that I used Mothers Mag polish and would recommend this to anyone who wants to give their gun a shine. It came out way better than I expected. It looks better in person, the stainless is a mirror.

that turned out wonderfully! i wonder how the slide would turn out on my gun! (have the full size two tone piece) Mothers has always been a premium product and its nice to see they have multiple uses

I too use mother's polish, did you wet sand before ? I used 800, 1000 and 3000? Grit wet sanding paper before polishing. It's really shinny now!

I want to do that to my GP100, but I am not sure if I want to change the 'satin stainless' look

 

[JohnMarston]

i am also curious of the process that you used.

I hated the satin finish and wanted the mirror finish. And for those who want to know my secret, I used distilled white vinegar. I soaked the barrel for 10 minutes and wiped it clean. I then used the green scotch brite pad and worked for 20 minutes. I then used Flitz and some 0000 steel wool and buffed it out. It then became nice and shiny but I later had some Mothers Mag and wanted to use that. I got some Cheese Cloth and put a little mag polish on it. I buffed for about 30 minutes and wiped it clean with another rag. I repeated it and here it is today. It looks 100 times better in person. Good luck to you all.

Cool. I heard just using the polish gives the same effect. Looks cool though. Good job.

What a waste of time then! Kidding, it came out great. I think if I only used the polish that it wear off fast. It took a while to get rid of that dull finish.
