cleaner

Hey Guy's....

Boy with a whole month of October gone and a new month started, I have a question that maybe you all can help me with.
Up in my late 70's (will be 75 11-07) what is the best all around cleaner and oil to use. I have had heard of so many I can't even begin naming. I would like a all in one if possible. I have been using Ballistol and love it because it cleans and just a little drop on the slide rails and wipe down and I'm through.

But I have about 8 people on different gun ranges I go to say it is no good.

Your answers will be highly appreciated.

I personally use Gun Scrubber and follow it up with Ultima-Lube II on the critical areas.

If you are looking for an all in one, Eezox or Breakfree CLP are decent alternatives to Ballistol....

I wise man once told me...."if it works don't fix it". :wink:

You could prob. find 50 other people that think those 8 are full of it also.

My guess is when this thread dies 2 will come out on top are Hoppes and Remoil. I'm using Hoppes now and it works fine, but no better then the cheap cleanbore 3 in 1 lube I've used for 20 years prior. The gunscrubber does work well for hosing out stuff like trigger and striker assemblies.

I recently switched to Frog Lube and think it's great stuff. Works for me.

Gee Whiz......

Thank you guy's.......Your impact to my question was great. I guess I will stay with Ballistol, but have alternatives to buy if needed.

A wise man once also said......"To Each His Own".

Thank you again, Guys..

I use granny's homemade lye soap that she makes in a kettle out by the cement pond.
