Metal De-Corroder and its effects

An important step in all of this process to definitely not forget is to add plenty of oil after any form of etching, polishing or anything of the sort. I recommend WD-40 as the first coat after a good polish or etch as it does a great job of expelling water molecules from the steel and really sinks into the pores of the metal. After a day or two of a good WD-40 soak, wipe away, clean area with acetone and then apply a light coat of gun oil to the area to conserve for longer periods of time.
