Eds Red for the bore. Brake cleaner for lower and gas tube.

You get a million answers for this just like what lube people like, so prepare for it.
Me personally, I like Hoppes #9 when at home and CLP when some where other than home since I only have to carry one bottle.

How do you find it as a cleaner?
I use it on my AR and handguns as a lube but not so much to replace CLP like G96 or Break Free (or the dreaded Hoppes #9 as required).
I always thought, (from reading the experience of others), that it was considered relatively meh as a cleaner.
Appreciate your input.

There are so many good products on the market these days it is harder to pick a bad one than pick the best one. You will get a lot of personal preferences.

Been using Hoppes #9 for years with no complaints. Although some will disagree, I really like the smell too!

Hoppe's No. 9 for the bore.
Sears Roebuck and Co. light machine oil for everything else.
If you have a S&W M&P-15, the recommendations for cleaning are on page 38 of the owner's manual and specify a "high quality firearms oil".
You don't need anything fancy (or expensive) to clean your AR and keep it in good working order.

hdwhit, I couldn't have said it better! Why spend all of your money on exotic oils and cleaners? I still use 3 IN 1 oil every now and again.
While at WM this past weekend, I went to the clearance aisle and found (2) bottles of STP fuel system cleaner for .75 cents each. This stuff will eat carbon and fouling like PAC MAN eating dots!

Actually, I'll bet the Chevron Techron stuff would too.

I KNOW it will! But, I'm not paying $6+ for it. After I run out of the STP I will go back to Hoppes semi-synthetic solvent.
