Came across a Colt Detective Special this morning. It has a nickel finish and a set of highly carved finger grooved stocks on it (dare I hope they are from Ferrat?). I have never owned anything with a nickel finish and don't know what precautions need to be taken to protect it. Can I use the same brass/bronze brushes? Can I use a lead away cloth on the cylinder face? Is Hoppes solvent ok to use? will simichrome or flitz polish hurt it? Any other precautions I need to take? Pics will follow once I get it cleaned up. Thanks.
