Review: Gets water spots off with elbow grease, but scratches glass. Suggest 0000 - 000 is scratching my windows in my RV and getting my VERY stubborn water spots of..I’d better get 0000 in 3M. Other brand stuff won’t get water spots off even in 00, but doesn’t scratch my windows either.
Review: Equivalent to 0000 steel wool, will scratch/dull finishes if that's what you're looking for - I bought both the 3M synthetic 0000 and 000 steel wool for a project to turn a gloss finished polyurethane guitar neck into more of a satin finish. I tried the white 0000, and it made no change, so it's more of a final finishing/polishing grit. So I bought the grey 000, and that's what I was originally looking for. It will leave shavings if caught on sharp points, but like a fraction of real steel wool, enough to forgive, as it won't affect electromagnetic parts. But this will bring a gloss finish to more satin with the surface scratching. But it'll easily go back to gloss too either with 0000 white or another product. Would recommend to people looking for coarser than polish but finer than true coarse/cutting products.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the 3m synthetic 000 extra fine suitable to buff porcelain sinks? 
 will it scratch the enamel?**
A: It won't leave scratches but it may dull the gloss a bit.

**Q: After reading the mixed reviews, what's your opinion for using this product to clean a ukulele fret board (has both wood and metal components)?**
A: The package said 0000 but it was much coarser than that. I returned it. I did find some nice 0000 steel wool on line from Liberon. It is much finer and a much better product than the 3M. I would highly recommend that instead.  It should work fine for your ukulele fretboard if you go lightly with it. You might also want to use a light mineral oil that will hard and then when you're done

**Q: js this the stuff you use to block off rats?**
A: Rats can chew through this stuff, STEEL wool works better!

**Q: will this deter chipmunks as well as regular
steel wool?**
A: Fiberglass would more likely be similar to steel wool . . . synthetic materials can be chewed and shredded more easily
