<title>FYI: Kleenbore 'Lead-Away' may be going away</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Or it might even be 'gone' already: According to <em>Midway</em>, the <a href="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/591584/kleen-bore-lead-away-gun-cleaning-cloth">cloth</a> has been discontinued by <em>Kleenbore</em>.</p>
<p>Perhaps not a big deal, since there are other products like it on the market, but I find <em><span class="underline">Kleenbore</span> Lead-Away</em> to be the 'best' for one application: The <a href="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/210159/kleen-bore-lead-away-gun-cleaning-patches">patches</a> are 'perfect' for refinishing stainless guns.</p>
<p>After 'final' finishing with typical abrasives like <em>Scotchbrite &amp; Oil</em>, a very <em>light</em> pass with one of the patches will lift the vast majority of clinging particles from the work surface and improve its appearance.</p>
<p>With just the right amount of <em>light</em> finger pressure, the patch will also help to smooth ('even-out') the finish without over-polishing it, resulting in a virtually 'perfect' match with factory polishing ('brushed' type).  Under heavier pressure, <em>Lead-Away</em> can be used to polish stainless fairly brightly, if desired.</p>
<p>Other similar products that I have found tend to act more like the latter: Good for 'bright' polishing, not so much for smoothing out a 'brushed' stainless finish done by hand.</p>
<p>In any case, if you want any more <em>Kleenbore Lead-Away</em> for whatever purpose, now is probably the time to get it.</p>
<p>FWIW, I looked around a bit, and on eBay I found lots of 10 boxes of the patches (there are 25 patches/box; the listings can be somewhat vague on this point) at around $40 shipped, so that's what I got.  Certain retail outlets listed them slightly lower, but I found none showing real-time stock status, so I just went with eBay.</p>
