This works well.

I get no leading at all with my guns. I don't need to look for stuff but I have some pads like Scotch Brite with no abrasive that might work, it is white. I wonder if it is the same?

Scotchbrite is more abrasive than 0000 steel wool. I wouldnt use it on any blued finish you care about. It does polish up stainless pretty well

The 0000 steel wool won't hurt the blueing. I don't clean my guns very often as they get shot multiple times a week. My K38 gets a lead film in the flutes on the cylinder after multiple hundreds of rounds. What I do to clean that is bell an old brass case excessively and use that as a scraper in the flutes to get that lead film off and then finish with 0000 steel wool. Works well for me.

this is the stuff. Those lead clothes are great for stainless but you have to be careful with blued. I have one and it says on the package it can remove bluing.

I can't find mine but it is just white nylon with no abrasive at all. Might have used them up in the shower. Flat pad.

Whatever you decide to do, I'd try it out on a revolver that I loved less, first!
