Titanium cylinder cleaning

Any ordinary powder solvent and nylon brush can be used to remove residue. The main thing to avoid is harsh scrubbing with metal, trying to get the inevitable stains off. Clean it like you would a fine blue cylinder, and leave the stains alone. Anything that will remove the stains will damage the protective finish.

Hoppe’s #9 used to have ammonia but I don’t think the current formulation does.
The Ti cylinders have a thin protective coating for prevention of erosion. Removing it with cleaning takes away the protection. Enjoy the burn rings!

I use Hoppe's Elite with a soft toothbrush and it works great. Here is a picture of my S&W 327 after firing 100 rounds and using Hoppe's Elite to clean the cylinder.

It is a cleaner, or solvent.

Just checked the MSDS sheets on Hoppes website and Hoppes #9 still does contain ammonia. Hoppes Elite is ammonia free.
Adios,

When I spoke with the Smith And Wesson customer service rep he recommended both m pro 7 and Hoppe's Elite.
