   #0000 steel wool does not scratch. It's the dislodged rust particulates that if not flushed with a penetrating oil while addressing surface rust WILL SCRATCH . Using Fluid film is a post cleaning protection as it's thick medium holds the dislodged rust particulate in the wool and will work against the remaining metal finish you are trying to save.
