Well, I gotta say ..... you fellas were right, this stuff is great. I like the suggestion of cleaning with Hoppes first and them lubricating with the CLP.

I soaked for 24 hrs (I don't think that amount of time is absolutely necessary, but it did the job)

I took some advice from some other posters in this thread and ran a few patches through the pipe after the initial cleaning and soak, and WOW, it really did bust up some gunk.

I haven't been out for a shoot since I've cleaned it, so I can't make a call on how much gunk the residue picks up, but this product will with out a doubt stay in my routine.

I noticed a big difference in the slide, it's like butta (not that it was rough before, but I can tell how the lubricants in this work as opposed to my good 'ole hoppes oil)

Thanks again for the guidance, fellas ...

Edit: Are the teflon sprays that much more effective?
