I can tell from the pictures that you hold your just like I do. My thumb goes where the mark is in the first picture. My finger right over the button.
Does your pinky stick up in the air when using it? My husband says I look like I am sipping tea from a tiny china cup...lol
Crash, try the Nevr Dull. It really did work without a lot of elbow grease.
when I used polish I got the same thing on other mods as well. So I decieded that keeping things shiny might be making those marks faster. With the oils on our hand mixes with the chemicals from the polish caused it to blacken faster. I highly recomend using a metal cleaner. And keep cleaning it until the cloth or rag shows no more black. then use a buffer for nails to get that shine you want. THis will help keep the black to a minimum. All that black stuff is oil and salt build up from your hands.
Also keep your hands clean using dawn (degreaser) after using lotion or eating. Doing this before using your GG or any mod will also help with build up of oils.
Since doing this method several months ago with my GGT I only need to clean it once every two weeks besides the button. The brass is a different story though.

Never thought about Never Dull... used it in the military and It cleaned up all metals. Great Idea... I actually think that I still have a can.
I ordered some Flitz tonight. I also ordered a 6" bench top polishing system with all the wheels, polish bars and other goodies to put a top notch shine on anything. I'm hoping the Flitz will help "lock out" the contaminents. We will see soon...
I found it Ace Hardware. I also looked at Lowes and Home Depot but no luck. I did not try Wal Mart but the Nevr Dull website says they carry it.
I used this
diepolitur.de - Glanol Metal polish with surface protection GLANOL® Metal Polish 100ml with surface protection 30050
but any metal polisher would do.
My GGST had just started getting black. "Glanol" gives an nice gloss polish and cleaned all light black shade that started to appear.
I tried it on a a very dirty metal too. MOST dirt went away except some very intense stains that remained as shades.

I made covers for my Slims using a roll of clear packaging tape, the type used for wrapping parcels.
If you cut it to exactly the right size, take care not to get any fingerprints on the sticky side, and avoid introducing air bubbles then it is almost invisible when applied, especially on the brass Slim.
It takes some trial and error to get the size correct, and to wrap it straight so the 'join line' is barely visible, but its possible.
I used a hot paperclip (with Slim battery removed!) to melt away the covering over the safety hole.
I found it at amazon.com and ordered it. I tried the toothpaste but I had mine so black I'm not sure if it was the dye from my gloves that I couldn't get it all off still had dark blemishes. I bought something today which is a stainless steel aluminum cleaner - for sinks that looks like ajax. Put a little water on a cloth put - its called Cameo - on the wet spot and applied it to the part that was black rinsed it with water and wiped it clean with a scottowel. It now looks like the day I bought it.
