I am working on a stainless steel model of the Brooklyn Bridge, but as I weld the cables to the base I am seeing heat discoloration. Is there a way to remove this discoloration without using abrasives?

Thanks
Thanks for all the advice. My local distributor in Manhattan (McKinney) has the Avesta 302 Compound, but it's around 50 bucks. A bit pricey, but maybe a good investment.
