I used some of those hand wipes that haves some alcohol and put some purell, its getting better, but after i use the 0000 buffing Steel Wool and use those wipeys again, im getting lesser dirty areas, but does it have to be completely cleaned to the grain. It does look like its getting alot better. I took the wrong picture of the Handguard and the one i have is already Dark Walnut and will Stain the Stock accordingly to the Hanguard. So I can match it up. Thanks
