I recently sent an email to Froglube regarding the positive experience Ive had with the product and also to pass along the overwhelming amount of love their product enjoys in the blog/youtube/forum environments I searched prior to trying for myself. I recently received a response thanking me for the feedback, and I was amazed that it was from Larry Lasky, the founder of Froglube.
I really did not expect a response nor did I try to elicit one, I was floored that one came and it was from the top. It made me realize this company gets it, and they listen. When the big shots take the time to express their thanks, and do so in a fairly lengthy email, well it really galvanized the already favorable impression I had.
I thought I would share some snippets with the community here, because so many of you had good things to say about this fine product. Also, the email shared some details about their early challenges and future plans you may find interesting. I am not in any way affiliated with Froglube, btw. But I am convinced they will continue to provide outstanding products to the firearm community.
"Just so you know, we had an "original" version that was built to our first spec. The supplier who was making it eventually floundered and we started to see some variation in the batches. The first liquid version contained a petroleum 'carrier' which made it mildly toxic and flammable.
We changed suppliers and introduced the present version which has been out for over a year now. We increased the quality of our source ingredients, improved filtering, increased the mixing speeds in our batch mixers, improved the natural dyes and we built a solvent line.
In the future, we'll look at more narrow cleaning and maintenance products such as winter version, copper cleaner/lead cleaners, heavy paste for heavy weapons, and marinized formulas for high corrosion prone use.
The formulations are constantly checked and shooters shoot the batches to check performance where it counts; on the range. We are shooters who make gun care products; not a chemical/petrochemical company that makes products for guns. We have a lot of confidence in the performance which allows us to make a 500,000 unit donation to our armed forces on the front lines. We are getting rave reviews from those guys and has become a source of growing pride for us."
