The gun cleaning mania shows an underlying disconnect with, and fear of, the elements of fire and brimstone that are the physical and spiritual basis of the non-socially subjugated animus of the firearm.

“Miracle Cloth”
They are old as dirt and have been around forever. They work like magic on stainless firearms - especially revolvers with soot staining on the front face of the cylinder.
However D O N O T use them on Blued surfaces as they will be miraculously stripped of their blue oxide luster and be now “In the white”.

I have a k frame model 18-2 in stainless, inherited it from my uncle. he shot it exclusively with 38 spc so loading it with 357 is a fun adventure of getting the case's out. would love to remove the build up in the cylinder so I can carry it for field use
When I was shooting Stock Service Revolver and vying for a championship (which I got) I was shooting enough to get cylinder face and forcing cone buildup that would drag. For a run of the mill local match I’d just use a dental tool to scrape it down. For a state, regional or national match I’d do a full clean. Of course I’d also scrub the hell out of the chambers every third stage or so, but that’s what you do when you want to win.
For a full clean I’d use a Birchwood Casey lead removal cloth. It was a pain but it would clean the cylinder face and forcing cone to where it was cleaner than when it came out of the box from the factory.
I have these same charcoal infused toothbrushes, so I’ll have to remember to try them sometime!

That’s easy, they make stainless steel cylinder brushes. Get two or three. Remove the cylinder and crane. from the gun and pull the yoke. Chuck a brush up in a hand drill, hold the cylinder in your hand firmly and spin it up as you work the brush in and out. At first, don’t run them in too far, just to where the end of the bristles are even with the front face of the cylinder. As the brush wears, you can gradually push them deeper so the less fatigued bristles work on the necked down area. The junction where the bullet makes the jump will prematurely wear the brush.
I usually do about 10 seconds on each charge hole, then stop to let the brush and cylinder cool down. Going too long at a time will cause the bristles to break off (and yes you’ll absolutely want to do this outside. You don’t want to find one of these bristles with your bare feet!)
After each round, use a flashlight and closely inspect how much buildup is left. You’ll wear these brushes out fairly quickly but they’re meant to be disposable. I used to order them by the dozen when I was shooting revolvers in competition. And no, I never damaged a cylinder doing this, blued or stainless.

While often mistaken for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder the gun cleaning and polishing mania is both specific and unique, and illuminates a profound disconnect from, and fear of, the elements of fire and brimstone that are the tangible parts of the non-socially subjugated animus of the firearm.
Hope you are just trolling for fun.
Rare collectible guns are maintained for all the same reasons rare antiques are taken care of and it has nothing to do with fear of anything.
Work guns and duty gear and cleaned and maintained because people bet their lives on them, again has nothing to do with fear of anything.
Then there is the "I simply take care of the things I own" crowd, has nothing to do with fear of anything.
When I clean the mud off my boots it's not because I fear the Earth.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
