I polished my steel barrel and brass barrel yesterday. I used turtle wax urethane enriched car wax and it worked great on my brass barrel and saw a lot of shine but on my madbull steel barrel it didn't shine at all. Also, I just shot it with my steel barrel and saw no improvement. Everything was the same as before which is really good but I thought the polishing could help more. These are the steps I did:
1. Clean the barrel with cleaning alcohol and then ran a dry swab down barrel
2. Put an unjamming rod that came with my l96 in the polish compound and stick it in the barrel
3. Wipe off the excess polish on the unjamming rod
4. Put the cotton swab down the barrel and push it with the unjamming rod.
5. Clean the barrel with alcohol again.
I think I did everything right but it isn't shiny. Any help would be appreciated.
