Thanks for the "I enjoy cleaning guns and tools" comments. My family doesn't understand why I spend an hour in the garage after a range session. My Dad, as well, taught me to keep tools cleaned and oiled. Every time He used even a screwdriver, he used an always available mineral oiled rag to simply wipe the blade before putting it on his well-organized tool wall.

Just what I was looking for. I’ve used mag polish didn’t think to use it on my revolver. So smart. Love it.

Are you using a hollow ground screwdriver? I was worried about using a regular screwdriver to remove the cylinder, so I bought the S&W screwdriver set on Brownells.

I tried your method and it didn't work for me as well as it did for you. The method I use is a scotch-bright pad attached to a Dremel Mandrel. The scotch-bright pad literally scours all the dirt and carbon fouling off of the cylinder. After doing that I tried your method and polished the cylinder to a mirror finish. I love my stainless steel guns but I hate shooting them because I know I have to remove the burn rings from the cylinder.

Nobody seems to wear gloves when cleaning. I wonder about the lead and chemicals absorbing into the skin to the organs...?

Along with take care of your tools & they will take care of you is a Place for everything and everything in it's place. Always return things back where you got them from. Two things I passed down to my three sons. Funny I do the same thing to my 686+ because the burn rings take away from the beauty of the gun.

Quick fix, if the ejector rod comes loose don't force anything just stick either a tooth pick or a wedge of wood under the front serrations of the ejector rod and pull the hammer back just a little bit and then hand rotate the cylinder counter clockwise and it will tighten it enough to work so you can swing the Cylinder out.
