Tarnished Bolt Polishing?

[NoMadMeHappy]

I have a couple budget pawn shop buys, both with tarnished/very lightly pitted bolts. One a Ruger American .270, the other a Savage Axis .223.
Any tips on restoration/polishing? Product recs?

Thx

A pink pencil eraser with automotive valve lapping compound inbedded in it mounted in a dremel tool and used to jewel the bolts would be an option. You can also do it with a small diameter steel wire brush also in a Dremel run at a medium speed.

Mother's Polish and 0000 steel wool will do wonders . You can use polish on many metals and use cotton cloth and polish for a final buff . A little goes a long way . Comes in a 5 ounce & 10 ounce tub . Bimart has 10 ounce for like $12 . I buy the 10 ounce and polish aluminum , brass , bronze , copper , stainless , gold , silver and even glass , mirrors ..... Good times .

I can't find anything but 0 fine brass wool (bought some). 0000 steel wool is easy to find.
Also bought some Blue Magic 400 Metal Polish Cream.
