You can use Flitz or Happich metal polish with a soft tooth brush and a cloth. It will clean it right up. I've used either on stainless and nickel plated guns for 30 years. Don't use it on any blued parts. Such as sights etc. But it shines stainless up really nice. Use it with the brush on the front of the cylinder, the forcing cone, and the inside of the top strap. Use it with the cloth on the external parts.

Like Dan said Flitz works very well. On stainless Dans I use gray scotchbrite to scrub off stubborn black deposits. Like you can find at Lowes. I soak it with either bore cleaner or Flitz and scrub lightly.

Nice looking pack. Another good one to use for removing those difficult powder stains (on STAINLESS STEEL ONLY) is Nevr-Dull, available at most auto parts retailers such as Auto Zone, Advance Auto, etc.

The least abrasive Scotchbrite is White (equivalent to 0000 Steel Wool). They are harder to find, you might try a restaurant supply house. I use them in my business for scrubbing glass oven doors clean, any other Scotchbrite begins to scratch the glass pretty quickly.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Is your gun stainless? I do see the S on the serial number indicating stainless but it looks blue to me. (I have trouble telling from pics.) On my blued 22, I've had good luck with Hoppes No 9 and a plastic soft bristle brush. If it is stainless, I'd go easy at first with the polishes and get more aggressive as needed. (I got a little carried away on my 740 and wound up doing the whole gun to keep a uniform look. 
) I also find it easier to get burnt powder off if I clean soon after shooting or at least get the solvent on it right away. Good luck.

On all my stainless Dan's, to clean the top strap, forcing cone and cylinder face, I use a stainless steel cleaning brush with gun cleaner. I do this after every trip to the range.
These parts aren't supposed to be shiny; they weren't when they left the factory so the satin finish that results is perfectly acceptable to me.

Another good solution is a lead remover cloth from Midway.

It will take off carbon and discoloration quick and easy, though it won't polish out imperfections. A really great product.
