cleaning aluminum stripes off my blade?

[cntrsnipr]

I used my AR to cut through an aluminum can, it left silver stripes across it, I tried steel wool, doesn't seem to phase it.
What might remove the aluminum without damaging the tiger stripe finish?

Thanks,
Jeff

BTW, Great forums.

It might not be aluminum left on the knife, but scratches in the finish. I am not sure, but I think that the edge of the can could be enough to put a scratch in the bead blast finish. I know I scratched mine with a screwdriver, but it doens't bother me as it is a user, not a display piece.

Try some gun solvent...
