The bluing is still deeeeep.No rust pitting or anything close to that but,it has some dulling or slight fading in some spots.It just not super duper shiny all over.Thinking some hand polishing or something of the like.

I've found so far, that faded bluing won't fix, the fading stays there. However you can give this a shot...
Once you have any oil wiped off, use a super soft microfiber cloth & give it good waxing.
That's right, I use Mother's carnuba wax (with no cleaners), it will make a noticeable difference & it leave a great shine.

I have seen posts on other sites where people have used Flitz on blued finishes, but I HAVE NO PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THIS. If you try something like this, I'd try a very small, unobtrusive spot (maybe under the grip?).
Possibly a very fine rubbing compound, then wax.
Or, try this:

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.

I have used Flitz on all my blued guns with no problems. Take what you think is a clean, non-rusted blued gun, rub some Flitz over a part of it and see all the fine surface rust that shows up on your rag...it turns a nice shade of rust brown. You won't believe how rusty your nice, blue guns are.
Every gun I get, whether brand new from the factory, or used, gets a full Flitz treatment right away. It works great on stainless guns also.
If you've seen my .375 SuperMag pics recently, you wouldn't believe how grungy it was when I first got it. A few applications of Flitz turned it into a show piece. I would post before and after pics, but I am in a hotel on a trip right now, and it won't work here...have to wait til I get home to show you.

Maybe I did something wrong. I tried Flitz on one of my blued guns & didn't notice much change.
But it sure works wonders on my stainless stuff.
Anyhoo, let us know how you make out.

I used to use Flitz on my knives and motorcycles--might as well use it on guns as well 🙂

OK I'm sold where do you find Flitz? Auto parts store maybe. Gun Store?

Flitz works great as long as the gun does not have rust, or cold blue on it, it will strip cold blue off in a heartbeat, I know this since i used it on my k 22 smith, that the previous owner had touched up with cold blue, right now its at a local gunsmith getting the cylinder reblued, the frame is 98 original finish.
