What, your horn doesn't leak enough for you? Clean the old grease off with dtergent (Dawn is great), and maybe polish them up a little with a mildy abrasive polish like Noxon.

Iznay on the steel wool and sandpaper - you'll remove metal, and cause leaks.

If the slides don't move to your liking, have a competent repairman adjust them so they do. The sticking may not be in the slide tubes, but in the alignment.

I suggest you may not want to acquire this new skill on the only horn you may own.
