I'll toss out a thought that might be an issue with some applied finishes. I used to drive a LeSabre and for convenience' sake, kept a strong pickup magnet stuck to the underside of the trunk lid.AEA wrote:My Stainless guns like a silicone rag wipe down on their exterior surfaces (not oil). They like oil on the moving parts!
And to keep this thread on topic, I will say that I would NEVER use anything like that magnet thingy.........My guns do not like scratches!
The magnetic field caused the exterior paint to crack and peel in the shape of the magnet.
Might be something to consider in addition to scratches. Or maybe not?
