Well, you have to clean some of the debris out before you can see what you have to work with.
I use a ball hone a couple of seconds both ways with some WD40 sprayed on it.
Wipe it out with a rag and you can get a better idea of what is real transfer and just left overs.
If you will go to Lowes or wherever and get some Muratic acid and Qtips, the Aluminum will fizz or bubble up with the acid. The plating will not react to it.
I use a flap wheel on a Dremel tool to get most of it off. May use some 400 grit and your finger, but however you go about it, you have to get the aluminum out.
If you cannot get the transfer out without going through the plating then buy a cylinder.
You can tell, it changes colors.
I won't throw some stupid number out about how many I have done, but it is a lot.
If you want a new saw, go buy a new saw. 95% for $40 is pretty slick IMO.
