I put Hoppe's #9 on and before the wire bristles, after running it from the bore to the muzzle 3 times I run it through with Red Line motor oil (20-50) on the tail-end of the snake.

The 'snake' may get dirty over many uses but there is never enough dirt left behind to create reliability issues if the bore looks shiny.

I don't do this every time but I will use a Q-tip soaked in Red Line motor oil to coat the chamber if I plan to store it for a longer period. (any brand of motor oil is better than none at all)

If were to use the old rod method I would only use a brass rod cleaning kit to eliminate the possibility of scratching the bore.
