Do I move up to steel wool or should I just do something to stop it getting any worse?

If it doesn't have any value to you try using some flitz on a rag. It should remove the rust.

I won't be selling it any time soon but it does have value

As long as you aren't taking off that much material, then I don't see how you could fuck it up.

Use flitz and not steel wool. Flitz is very mild and what I use to remove rust or blemishes. Just about any light polish will do, might have to use a dremel to get into some of those cavities. Flitz will remove finish if you go too hard so beware.

0000 grade steel wool, oil and some patience will go a long way. Put on a movie, sit down with it and do it properly. itll look a lot better. Fine steel wool wont harm the finish but will take off rust. Gunsmiths do it this way too.

Steel wool does a great job at removing rust but I've seen soooooo many people ruin their guns with it. If you use steel wool and leave scratches(because you didn't use fine enough grit) then use a polish after to remove scratches. Whatever method you choose make sure you find a small inconspicuous area to test on.

Why not just use 100% organic, free-range, vegan copper wool?

Cheers guys, I didn't have any Flitz to hand and I didn't want to go straight to Steel Wool so I used some Brasso and it seems to have done the job, maybe another couple of runs but otherwise still much better
