I think most rubbing compounds use a wax base, just use some denatured alcohol to remove it then reoil the gun.

If gunScrubber doesn't work send an e-mail to Turtle Wax. Good luck.

preps all, the auto body people use it all the time to clean, before painting or putting on graphics on painted surfaces. it removes wax tar and road film.
Try WD-40 or a damp clothes softener sheet.

Tell the truth, you were buffing your gun, right?
Array
No I was not its only a small area but now that I look at it . It looks like a scratch but either way I plan on getting it refinished somtime in the future.

Now that I look at it the spot where it is present is the spot I did try to buff a couple scratches out. I stand corrected folks. tried gun scrubber and no luck. So I may try Goo gone. Doesnt 409 have properties that would strip a parkerized finish?

Its looking like its a scratch from where i tried to wipe it with all the cleaners and nothing so I am just going to carry it and beat the hell out of it. It just shows the gun is not a safe queen and is used. But I might get it refinished when I go to put sights and a match trigger in it.
