Cleaning product recommendation?

Breakfree CLP was fine...switched to Fireclean (great short term lube and preventive but does not clean and not for long term storage...gunks).
Now, using Ballistol. Works great.
Nylon brush, brass brush, Q Tips, rags, and snakes.
Mothers mag polish for some revolver cleaning....
 
I use Breakfree CLP for routine cleanings in all my firearms except the ones that run corrosive ammo, those get Ballistol. Ballistol does have a distinctive smell so not my choice for ccw use. Unless you want everyone thinking you wear black liquorice colone.

For greasing rails & such I like TW25.

From a lubrication perspective any motor oil & axle grease is a suitable lubricant, I like the convenience of a CLP as 'one shot' product. When I want to 'deep clean' I'll use Hopps #9, it's a good product.

what do you all recommend to clean a shield? I have hoppe's no. 9 bore cleaner that I used for my first cleaning after I shot both on the front of the polymer frame, throughout the slide and on the trigger group. I went back through and lube lubed it up but I'd like something a bit "safer" as I've been told no. 9 is not good for this gun. Any ideas? A scrubber? Anything? Thank you

I still have some Hoppes. But since most women hate the smell, I don't use it anymore. Personally, I love the smell.
 
I've been satisfied with eezox and sentry solutions products. Never had an issue with ballistol either. Have used almost all brands of products can recommend any of the above
 
I forgot to mention that I use canned air,nylon brush and Hoppe's BoreSnake.

My weapons Shield container split, so I need to find a new container with a needle tip. The regular one lets out way to much lube.
 
Ballistol for cleaning fouled barrel and tetra gun grease for lubing rails , trigger bar etc , around mouth of barrel , top of barrel and hood . I use slight amounts and rub it in . Also mouth of slide for barrel .
 
A friend of mine who isn't into guns swears by a product called Superzilla. It is plant based and the interesting thing is it isn't supposed to attract dirt like other products. Thoughts?

I rarely go through a lot of rounds, so I usually just spray stuff down with Rem-oil, or even WD40, and then use Scott towels and a nylon brush, run a couple wet patches through the bore, then lube with any number of things I have handy, from Mobil1 to CLP to LSA, etc.
Whenever I decide the bore needs some real attention, I'll generally just use an old bottle of Hoppes solvent and bronze brush, and again, run a couple wet patches of whatever lube is handy.
There's usually way too much obsession with having the latest/greatest cleaners and lubes, and it just ain't necessary. :eek:
 
Don't get caught up in the intense marketing associated with gun products.

You'll be just fine with good old Hoppes #9 or Balistol and a light machine oil and perhaps an inexpensive grease.

Anything additional is unnecessary.
