On knuckles I prefer to use a brass brush to clean and raise the knap. I have never had any problem with this except upon some extremely thin knuckles from S&S. I prefer not to use anything on knuckles except a teflon spray or micro fine teflon powder. You might do well to carefull wipe the jack top and wippen window frame before lowering you nice and clean knuckles. Newton
