This coming Monday I'll be getting my Interams PPK/S stainless out of layaway. I stopped by the shop today with the money in my pocket to pay for it but went with the intention of picking up a Ruger stainless P94 dirt cheap as it could get snatched up and the PPK/S is set aside. My factory thumbrest grips for the PPK/S won't be here until next week anyway.
The P94 has a satin stainless finish not unlike the Walther. This particular P94was rather dingey and dirty but I've gotten pretty good at knowing what can and can't be made better with a used gun. I went over the slide with Flitz and it is now 100% better. It seems to work more from chemical action than abrasives. It's clean and a few stains are now gone (stainless does stain, it just "stains less") While my PPK/s is in fine shape I'm figuring it could benefit from Flitz as well. Has anyone used Flitz on a similar stainless Walther finish? Are there any products that are better for cleaning and removing stains while leaving the original finish as is (at least as I can tell)?
