Who would want to damage their lovely Governor's finish? Gads!

Not me. Good info to know. I just got 1 of these babies a few weeks ago; I'd be bummed if I'd found out the hard way.
In checking out labels, noticed Hoppes cleaning kits are not U.S. made.
I was gonna get some more goodies for cleaning the Governor. And for other potential purchases.
