I have been using sweets for years, only ever patched out and oiled,never had a problem or any pitting in any barrels blued or stainless.
If you are really worried about sweets(and there is absolutely no need to unless you are leaving it in there for months) then use a wet patch yes just wet with water, ammonia is attracted to/dissolves in water. Meths is a pretty shit cleaner for all but the lightest of oils,it does however absorb moisture so if your OCD isn't satisfied yet you could....

Clean with sweets or any other ammonia based solvent,clean that out with water,clean the water out with meths, then put some shitty engine oil in there
