Aerosol gun cleaners?

[phaux]

I've been shooting a lot of suppressed stuff lately and some of my guns are getting filthy. Instead of spending forever with wipes and sprays and what not, does anyone know of any aerosol spray cleaners or if carb cleaner, brake cleaner, etc is safe to use without messing up the finish?

Make sure you get the regular CLP Break free. That foam shit they have sucks out loud. I usually clean with that and Lube with Remoil. I don't know of any good product that is wipe free. I would personally NOT use carb cleaner on a good gun finish.

Powder Blast.

my regimen is wiping all my guns down with a dry cloth to remove the debris and carbon, then I go back with some #9 on a cotton ball, swab a few times and it's done. Minimizes the amount of material you clean with. I use to go through shitloads of material to clean, now I use 1/10th of that.

Gun scrubber at the sink and scrub with a brush the stubborn shit. Hot water rinse. Dry it off and wipe it down. That is what I do.

Spraying just blows shit all over the place, I prefer wiping.

This made me think of kbscobravert's thread

What is the FrogLube Weapons Performance and Care “System”?

FrogLube Solvent™ and FrogLube® CLP

Two “food grade” products have been formulated to work “together” to remove the fouling byproducts produced in a firearm; this includes carbon, copper, lead, firing residue and other non-specific build-up. A cleaning solvent is necessary to strip and degrease and a lubricant is needed to smooth actions and provide corrosion resistance. Both formulas have been carefully engineered to prevent interaction and residue formation.


How does FrogLube work?

FrogLube is a heavy specific gravity “food grade” mixture that seeps deep into the micro spaces of the metal and acts as if to ‘season’ the surface of the bore, any friction points and all areas treated with the lube. Once treated, fouling particles resist bonding to metal surfaces; instead, they easily wipe away or brush off the surface. This also applies to other loose fouling particles such as dirt, dust and sand. FrogLube does not film, nor is it a coating. Instead it is a treatment that is absorbed throughout the firearm. It is water insoluble and will repel water and resist corrosion.

I have heard good things about frog lube, but I am just not that patient or rich. I think you heat the surface with a hair dryer or heat gun, then apply the lube.


I use Hoppes #9, rags, patches, and q-tips. For lube, some parts get lithium grease, some get motor oil.

Mine don't get cleaned every range trip. I'll put 500ish or so rounds sometimes more between cleanings on the AR.

NonChlorinated brake cleaner on all the nasty stuff punch the bore a few times then re-oil. Takes me about 30 minutes to do a pistol and rifle and then repeat the process over again.
