I've used the BC lead removal cloth on both a Rodeo I and a Rodeo II to what I think is good effect.
On the Rodeo II version the cloth mutes the matte finish some and shines it up...odd combo for sure. More an antique nickel look like Nutmeg offers than the electoless matte nickel now. On the Rodeo I is takes off the blue and just like on the Rodeo II polishes the bead blast finish some. I would assume that if you did it enough you'd have finely polished bright steel.
before and after the liberal application of a BC cloth and elbow grease. Plus some ivory aging. Part of the difference in photos is the lighting. But the majory of the gun's finish was actually softened up by the liberal use of the BC cloth.


And my Rodeo I's aged using the same amount of elbow grease and just a few minutes with a BC cloth when the guns were torn apart.

Hundred year old Bisley and one of those same Rodeos I's that I got a little more aggressive with using the BC cloth after the first photo..
