Corrosion-X
Corrosion-X is my favorite for an one-kind-does-all. I started using it around 2000. The guns I treated with it have never rusted to this day. I found the best method was to strip all the old lubricant and crud off with something strong, like automotive carburetor or brake solvent. Then spray with Corrosion-X and allow to set over night. Then, wipe off any excess and, if, you must, another squirt in the slide grooves of your 1911 or Hi-Power. Has never failed me. I use it on my shotguns, rifles, handguns, and fishing reels. A gun treated with Corrosion-X is much easier to clean after shooting. Usually a brush and wipe will get it
clean. Then, maybe a drop or two of Corrosion X on the friction points. The stuff now comes in smaller containers, specifically for gun use, but as far as I can tell, it is the same as that packaged in red spray cans.

Many great cleaners are lousy lubricants and vice versa.
You guys really need to try Corrosion-X. It will really work on rust, and is some of the slickest.......stuff I have ever seen.
GREAT product.
Also- For lubrication, see if molybdenum disulphide is readily available in powdered form. It is an ugly gray/black powder that might be the slickest thing known to man. You can use it on guns, AND progressive reloading equipment parts like primer slides and powder slides to keep them from jamming/seizing/galling.
People call it 'moly'.
TRULY amazing stuff.
The reason I don't know about availability is because I bought a lifetime supply 25 years ago when it was very hard to find.
Google it and read up on it.[/QUOTE]
