I've tried various products, and most of them will work just fine...I say "most" because for me, there were some that had some drawbacks that may or may not be the case for you. For example, I tried Ballistol...wonderful stuff, works perfectly, but stinks to high heaven. I just couldn't go the smell...many can, some cannot. I'm one of the cannot.
I currently use Hoppe's Elite to clean, and Weapon Shield for lube. On a 1911, I also put a bit of grease on the slide rails. I like both of these products because they are non-toxic, have no odor or at least a very pleasant, mild aroma, and work very well.
