Any chemical that strips metal in the home?

I use cellulose thinners. It wont damage bluing like most of the chemicals listed and will disolve any form of grease you care to mention.

Looking at something to soak my trigger in its filthy and all the wet and dry and autosol rubbing in the world isn't removing some of the dirt on it. I didn't know if theirs any secret recipe I can leave it soak in to remove the dirt? Like bleech or baking powder or something.

Cheers

I'm puzzled as to why Wet and Dry won't remove it as it is an abrasive. W&D removes metal so it will certainly remove dirt.

What is the 'dirt' exactly?

one more thing to try is servisol foaming cleaner, i used to use that when cleaning up old cb's and radios - works a treat about £3 for an aerosol on ebay.

Im puzzled too Its like grease in the metal but all the rubbing in the world isn't removing it. I have some cola so I'll try that first and use a bit more wet and dry then vinegar or break cleaner. I think I can't rub it as well by hand it's fiddly so it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Thanks for all advice though got plenty of different products to try.

Vinegar removes blurring, be careful of brick cleaner. It melted my trigger.

dont go near brick cleaner itll turn it to rust as its basically hydrochloric acid. wd40 works wonders when soaked.

Cat puke! My mates cat puked on his pistol and it stripped it to the bone.
