[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 587694, member: 25383"] the real problem with the aluminum is aluminum oxide created as you use the rod. It's very abrasive (as in emery paper). The coating on coated rods will also pick up junk as you use them. There are graphite rods out now that maybe better (I own a couple) but the jury's still out for me. With burnished stainless steel, all I do is wipe the rod everytime I make a pass. Nothing will embed in the hard surface. gary [/QUOTE]
