Gun Cleaning-What do you use?

[Dermako]

A lot of options now days.
But reason I ask is I looked at my shelf the other day and I have bottlles and pastes and creams of stuff I havent touched in years. It was taking up a lot of shelf space for something never used.
Pulled all of them down and boxed it up. Going to a friend that will use.

Over the years I slowly and with great skepticism migrated to three products and that is all I use anymore. Period. Correction, four products.
I use Bore Tech Carbon Cleaner, Eliminator and Copper Remover exclusively anymore.
For heavily fouled ASR's and muzzel breaks I use CLR with a little scrubbing now and then till clean.

I do have an Vevor ultrasonic cleaner but find I end up scaping and picking and redoing most heavily fouled parts, so I just use the carbon cleaner and be done with it. Easier, quicker and I don't have to clean the ultrasonic.

Disclaimer:
In no way is this an advertisment of Bore Tech.
I have used Hoppes, J-B, Butch's, Sharp Shoot R and countless others with success.

10W30 for AR's and general lubrication/wipe downs

Tw25b for pistols

Lubriplate for M1's.

Hoppes #9 for bores

Wipe-out for bores that really need TLC

Be careful with CLR; it will take the blueing right off of a carbon-steel gun. It does remove those baked-on carbon rings, though!

Hoppe’s. Anything else is

I've tried a bunch of cleaners: Hoppe's, Ballistol, CLP, Frog Lube\. I finally settled on Slip 2000 cleaner. I also use Slip 2000 oil and grease.

No miracle cleaners, just regular maintenance is all I use.

 

[Pistol Pete]

Hoppes and Breakfree CLP except for a Dan Wesson, no solvents on it, it'll ruin the Doody finish.

spit and a rag

Brake cleaner then royal purple 10w30 for lube

Oh God, Not another one of these threads...

On my blued guns I only use muriatic acid, and Comet cleanser.
It keeps them looking like stainless steel.
