<div>Hi Jeff,</div>

<div>I'm not sure. What you can do is to take a new pin, polish it
with Flitz and check it with a clean towel or rag and naptha. My guess
is that you'll find the residue on it.</div>

<div>I've never had a problem using McLube on anything (except for the
somewhat noxious odor) and I find that it does make a considerable
difference when you're removing excess friction.</div>

<div>Your mileage may vary.</div>
