So I was sitting there scraping the carbon off my bolt, kind of getting frustrated because I couldn't get all of it off when my dad walked by and said "Dude, what are you doing?" I said "Scraping carbon off my bolt." He said "Try this." He reached under the sink and tossed me a Scotch Brite pad made by 3M.
I rubbed the bolt with it and before I knew it had no carbon whatsoever on it. It didn't scratch the metal at all. I was impressed.
I thought it was nifty so I thought I would share my experience.
