I accidentally wiped down my metal gun with blue magic headlight lens restorer.
Is that going to damage the finish and is there anything I can do after the fact to alleviate the damage?
It looks slightly off color now but I'm not sure if it was always that way.

I dropped my revolver on the barrel and feel like utter shit now. We all make mistakes anon
Shit troll is a shit.

How? I use microfiber cloths to clean my car headlamps with blue magic, and use the same cloths to clean my gun.
I accidentally didn't wash the cloth good enough I guess after I used it for my headlamp.

Don't post pictures of your gun, we can see the outcome based on your description

Actually the color looks the same as other's online.
I'm just being paranoid because I love this gun.

You partially sandblasted your gun. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Now you know to segregate your cloths so shit like this doesn't happen.

Is it bluer and magic now?

You basically scraped off the top coating of oil and maybe just a little parkerizing. HK and Glock steel treatments have a high enough hardness that you can learn from this mistake. If you want it darker again then just re-oil and get a new cloth just for your gun next time.
