I`d forget the steel wool and get some "rotten stone". I believe you can get it at paint and hooby stores. I had a smith give me mine when I talked to him on refinishing a rifle he had bedded for me. The Steel wool will leave small pieces in the finish and leave rust marks if you don`t get it all out. The rotten stone in a paste with a little mineral oil will dull the finish and wipe off easily.
