All I use is Hoppes #9 Elite and you will have no problems!! Although you might get a million different other Bore Cleaner follow up answers, #9 is always my choice!

I am not aware of any product marketed as a gun cleaner that will harm polymer frames. Where folks usually run in to trouble is when they try to save $$ and buy the wrong brake or carb cleaner to do the job.

thanks for clearing that part of it up lol i though there was gun cleaners that would clean your gun but could hurt polymer, i dint know if there was something everybody else knew that i dint about gun cleaners......but now thinking about it i think i read the label of CLP sometime back and i think (if im wrong please correct me) it said something about possibly hurting a finish...ill have to go read it and make sure....

Ballistol is very gentle and has a very good reputation.

When the gun is field stripped, the barrel gets the Hoppes treatment, the rest gets sprayed down with WD40, tooth brush, compressed air.

Good Gun Cleaner
I would use MPRO-7 products. Have been using them for years and are safe for polymer. I have shot over 5000 rounds from my Springfield XD-40 and it is very clean without any trace of powder using their products and technique. Many Police Departments and Military use the product and are greatly impressed with the results. It is earth friendly and gentle on your hands.
