The fastest/cheapest way(based on my experience) is to use Brownell's Oxpho Blue. Apply according to directions. It has a nice blue tint that will blend with the original blue.

In the future, use this with oil: https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic...vPhwvTke3HUcBTcunoW4

Ive tried that. You dont want to do that. Its effective, but it turns a butt ugly flat black. And thats if youre lucky. It very aggressive stuff.
Just use oxpho or formula 44. And yes, let the hoopes #9 do its job instead of scotch brite.
