Here is the link to Dremel and their polishing brushes
It does a great job for the next to last step in polishing feed ramps (last step, Flitz on a felt polishing wheel!!!!) :thumbs2:

Re: Anyone seen a "gunsmith" use a dremel to clean a gun?

I used to work for a jeweler, and there is a finess to using a power polisher and wire wheel. I have seen him use a really fine wire wheel to polish expensive jewelry. A lot depends on the speed of the wheel, type of bristles, the metal they are polishing and mostly the skill of the person doing the work.

There are also nylon bristle brushes for Dremels that kinda look like a wire brush, but do not scratch very much. They will break through crud pretty well. They may leave some really small brush marks in a stainless finish, but a good hand rubdown with Flitz and they are gone.
