[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1632382, member: 63925"] I used their polish and not the bore cleaner. It isn't as "abrasive" but still does clean bore nicely. The patches were black as midnight even after just a couple strokes. Seeing that makes you continue with confidence you are getting it done. [URL]https://www.flitz.com/flitz-polish-liquid/[/URL] I used it for entire bore. I could not feel any drag near throat so I am thinking it has taken care of that but only a bore scope will tell me for sure. I will get it scoped once I have gotten down to where I feel it is bare steel again. One way I found to feel the drag near the throat is to use an undersized jag and go slow thru the throat area.
