Best gun Oil, Grease & Cleaner brands?

M Pro-7 has been the best that I've used. Although I've never tried Frog Lube before. I'm thinking about doing some research on some of the Teflon products but it'll have to be GREAT to surpass M Pro-7. It's made be Hoppe's so there's history here. Keep your Powder Dry

After all the hype about frog lube I ordered some. Used it on an old .22 speedmaster rifle that had not been detailed in years. It had been shot many times and never cleaned before I inherited it. I cleaned it pretty good with regular solvents and such and thought it was alright. Got the frog lube and it looks 10 times better than right before I used it. I have yet to fire the gun afterward, but it does a great job at cleaning.

Here is a link to their dealer map: http://www.froglube.com/Regional-Reseller.htm

Does any big chain retailer or gun shop sells frog lube or is it ONLY order thru online?

Other than the frog lube do you guys use any other solvent, wax or grease in any other part of your guns or just frog lube is the only product on your table when cleaning your guns? ( other than towels, brush, hairdryer, etc.)

It may be in some LGSs. I bought the liquid at the Sig Sauer Academy Pro Shop. I got the paste on EBay

Yes it is the only product on my table while cleaning I use the liquid for lube points. Might be overkill but it has been working well so far

I need to buy my own hair dryer though. While the wintergreen smell is pleasing I don't think my wife enjoys the scent on the hair dryer if I happen to get a little on the handle lol

Remington Brite Bore is a very good powder solvent without stinking up the entire house. Birchwood Casey Synthetic Gun Oil to lube and Barricade for rust protection. Along with Shooters Choice high-temp grease. I also use BC MolyLube, which is a dry lube, on things such as trigger assemblies and barrel threads. I have also invested in the smallest Lyman sonic cleaner to clean very dirty small parts, like an AR bolt, etc. It works really well and takes no time at all. I am thinking about getting the largest size to fit frames, slides and my suppressor.
 
Guns have no sense of smell, don't read mag ads, only need to be cleaned and lubed, and aren't particular about with what. I've tried just about everything mentioned so far and many other things, and the only thing I will not reccommend is WD-40. Save it for debugging your car and use something else on firearms.
 
Lube.......Frog Lube
Cleaner....Gun Slick foaming bore cleaner
Otis pull through cleaning kit

I've eliminated the need for latex gloves and the toxic smelly garbage can full of dirty, oily patches.
 
After every range trip, a quick field strip and cleaning with Break Free LCP and the right sized Bore Snake, foam swabs and a toothbrush get your gun clean. LCP=lubricant, cleaner & protectant all in one. Periodically clean with Hoppes 9 and other products for bore cleaning as needed. Haven't tried FrogLube yet, but am seriously considering it.
 
I really like Blaster PB50 all-purpose Lubricant for general stuff. It does not evaporate like WD40, but leaves a protectant film on the metal. Doesn't smell to high heaven. Get it a Home Depot or Lowes and is economicaly priced. Another lube I like is Hoppe's Elite Gun Oil....cost more than blaster but has a good lubrication film which stays and very low odor ( I can't smell any odor at all from it ) Odor may not be important to some but I've used some products that smelled, and in a not good way ,for 3 or 4 days. I also tend to clean them in the house and the wife complains when I use the stinky stuff. These two lubes get the wife approval.

I use both the Wilson Combat line of lubes and cleaners, as well as Frog Lube; what I use is solely dependent on my mood...they both work very well. I will follow up with a nice polishing/surface lubing with my Rusty's Rag's kit. I stopped using the other brand's, especially on the new aluminum stainless J frames, and any anodized aluminum blue/black frames because I found them to be damaging to these finishes.
 
I use FL bore cleaner on the barrel. But everything else,gets Frog Lube from one end to the other as needed with the paste and a drop of luquid on wear points. Make them look almost brand new when your done.

Otis Cleaning Kits are the best thing since sliced bread. You can get them weapon specific for the .223/5.56 and a handgun,or one that goes from 17 Cal-12 guage. They come in there own round zip up case and fit in your range bag great.
 
I use Kano Kroil and JB bore paste for removing lead from bores. Gunzilla for a CLP. Rem. Oil and Kleen Bore products for rods, brushes.
 
I just tried Frog Lube and so far it is the best thing I have ever used. It is available at many gun shops, in fact my local gun store says that it is the only thing that it uses on guns in it's shop. You can check it out on froglube.com and you can also use it's dealer locator to help see where it is sold. As far as heating your gun before application, it takes only a couple of minutes to use a hair dryer to heat the gun. If you're cleaning your guns during daylight hours, place it in the sun for a few minutes to warm it up. The only disadvantage I've seen so far is that once you apply it, you must let it set for about 20 minutes or so before wiping the excess off.
 
The "best" cleaning kits, solvents, and lube is subjective. There's no single right answer.

For me, the basic rod, tips, brushes, and patches should be in your cleaning tool set. After that, experiment. Try a Boresnake, Otis Cleaning kit, etc. I use Ballistol as a cleaning, lube, protect all in one product because its non toxic. If I need to use a grease, I lightly apply a copper/graphite lube found in a hardware store.

If you want the best value for the dollar for an oil you can use for your gun, try Mobil1 0W30 synthetic. Fill a pin point oiler with it. The single quart will last years.
 
MPro-7 and their soft-sided cleaning kit. No solvent smells or irritation, works great!
