Favourite Gun Cleaner and Lube

[uncle-buck]

What's your fav cleaner and lube ? or do you like a CLP ?

Any good bio/ safe one's you have used ? froglube,mpro7,proshot, etc....

For general cleaning/lube: g96
For fouled up bore cleaning: wipeout foaming
Lube on specific points: frog lube paste

That should do the trick for most firearms

bore-wipeout
everything and anything -froglube
back up cleaner-g96

these 3 and only these 3 I haven't found anything better im sure there is but these are my go-to for keepin the guns purdy

Break free CLP for clean and oil. I like lubriplate 130a or 105 and castrol MP bearing and chassis for greases where and when needed.

G96 gets used on all my guns, seems that a few other people agree

Rem Bore Cleaner and Rem Oil... JB Bore Paste for bad bores or soft lapping.

My favourite lube is gunslick's graphite grease. I haven't seen it around lately though. I'll probably get a tube of froglube to see what all the hubbub is about.

I like hoppes #9 for general cleaning.

Ed's Red. I use it by the gallon

This, the acetone in it cleans out the plastic fouling from wads quite well and its a fraction of the cost of commercial cleaners. For lubricants on my semi autos I use any synthetic gun oil that is good for a wide range of temperatures.

Gotta have some frog lube on your bench

 

[Magellann]

I use everything from Hoppes, Gunscrubber, Rem Bore, to Brake Clean, & Varsol.

Ed's Red. I use it by the gallon

I've got a gallon pickle jar full of it. Trying it out as a soaking bath for things that are a pita to detail strip. I like the idea of a solvent with known ingredients. Left out the acetone.

Been using a good bit of Balistol as well, especially for corrosive cleanup (moose milk mixture).

I recently just tried a few different kinds since I went back to Alberta and forgot my cleaning supplies.... Normally Ed's red rocks the sh!t out of anything I have used including the military CLP we use in the CF. I havent tested the Froglube but it sure looks like thats up there on the list. Wipe out is super pricy and I never feel like the patches are actually clean. Hoppes #9 in a jam is reliable. On my XCR I needed something that hangs around through firing, (nothing has lasted my range days and although I havent had a FTF/FTE) I bought some Lubriplate original white. It came with the recommendation of the Vendor. Just remember when using Ed's red, open a window....
