I have some scratches on my nickel plated pistol and i want to polish it, will this damage/remove the nickel plating?

This material is more a tarnish remover, it will not remove scratches in my experience. I would suggest that you leave the scratches as the nickel plating is very thin.

My experience with nickel plate is limited. Nevr-Dull works wonderfully on silver plate and sterling. It's a little messy but I recommend it. Scratches may need other remedy, not sure.

I have not tried removing from my gun... that is why I bought it, to give my gun a camo look. While putting on the gun, when removing to reposition, there was not a sticky residue left behind.

I use the Hornady cleaner, I believe it does both, because my guns have a combo of stainless and blued.I looked at the label, and it says safe for all metals.

No scratches, but over time there is some wear on the slide. However, I do carry in a dusty environment so maybe I get more wear than usual. What one sees is the black glock coating slowing worn to reveal a dull silvery metal sheen underneath.

I haven't seen any scratches on my Glock 22, but you will eventually get wear marks. If you choose to coat your slide in Cerakote or another durable finish, it will most definitely not have any marks. You also have a screw above the trigger guard that you may tighten or loosen to make the ease of use better.

yes You will need to do it several times, also let the polish application completely dry befor you buff it off. I used this on a lucite coffee table with fine scratches I had very good results. If your scratches are deep there is also a product for deep scratches.

Absolutely! It also works with most of my other guns. Doesn't scratch a thing as it is coated.

I have not used this product on polished aluminum, however, I would not hesitate trying it. Had no negative effects on items such as antique nickle and copper plate also various steels and unpolished aluminum. Is the aluminum polished, or coated. If coated, its possible that it could remove the coating (as most other polishes and cleaners will do).

I would spritz it with water and let it soften before trying to remove, the paint should be alright. As always, apply a good coat of wax after using the polishing compound.

No, I have used it where it has got on fresh painted metal and it never done anything to the paint. It sure polishes the brass though.

Yes, I've used it on Rohl polished nickel and it removes the water spots and polishes the fixtures.

Don't know for sure, but what I would do is try a tiny less visible spot of the scraped area. Rub in "light" circular motion, let dry, use soft cloth to polish & check to see if improved. If you have to use a little more pressure, try that. Apply, let dry, then polish using. Take it in small steps.

Can't answer for Polished Nickel but sure does work well on Oil Rubbed Bronze!! Read the bottle and does not specifically mention Polished Nickel. Try www.flitz.com

No, SS media will remove tarnish without leaving marks on the brass. If your brass is already scratched or marred or marked, SS media will not remove those marks. Otherwise, damage to the brass would occur during the ordinary SS wet tumbling process.

My understanding is that most shiny brass you buy these days comes with a lacquer finish to preserve the look while items sit in inventory. On my hooks I was able to remove the shine with fine sandpaper (I didn't want to use chemicals on the felt that would be resting on the firearm). I used 220 grit and it took me less than 5 minutes. It took off the shine and left the color with a very subtle "brushed" look. I like the look next to my 1860s percussion shotgun. Supposedly with the lacquer removed the brass will also develop a nice weathered "patina" after a few years.

Its designed not to harm finishes, the body is made of aluminum and the tension screw has a plastic bumper on it to keep it from rubbing. It hasn't left any marks on my Kimber in two years of use(yes I normally shoot with it attached)

This may diminish the scratches but does not remove any metal. I use for very old glassware to remove lime deposits but leaves the glassware sparkling!
