Give me a place to stand and a long-enough lever, and I will invariably break the lever.

I pulled out my Security Six Stainless recently, and noted how disgusting the front of the cylinder looked. I was placing an order for other stuff, and threw in a Birchwood Casey Lead remover cloth on a whim. It was like magic. In about 15 minutes, it looked like it was when Bill Ruger last saw it. Great. Now what did the magic. The cloth itself resembled a heavy felt. It obviously had been treated with something. Any idea what the magic substance might be ? Ok, I'm frugal. I handload, and if I could, I'd rinse out and resuse those silly glucose test strips... Any thoughts on this or some other hack ?

Pooh, I didn't know of any lead solvent 'till you broached the subject, sinks in chem. labs were made of lead.
I looked up [solvents of lead] and there are a few after you discard the bore cleaners.
Have fun and good luck

You might try some of Hacker's Coffee . . . but be careful not to spill any of it.

Larry, Hacker's coffee may be hard on the stainless steel gun itself.  |

You mean it's likely to remove the gun and leave the stain ?
