I got my first Glock in 1995.
I have used brake cleaner and acetone on Glock frames for 25 years with no ill effects.
It does not haze or lighten the frame because it is not effecting the material.

What it DOES do is strip all oils and crud off.
That may change how the frame looks, but all you have to do it handle it again or wipe it with an oily rag and it will look like it always does again.
Much the same with how stripping the oil off parkerizing makes it look different.

Try a belt sander.













Just kidding.

Put it in the top rack of the dishwasher next to the rest of your Tupperware.

Have you tried Goof Off?

The simple solution is soak the grip in acetone then set it on fire.

Now go buy yourself a 1911.

Well I was thinking a bench grinder with a wire wheel. Then buff it out afterwards...

When it comes to a Glock, she isn't half wrong

I would be afraid it could discolor or give a matte effect. Admittedly I have never tried it. I do believe that Glock frames are commonly prepped for Cerakote by using acetone, but they are about to be painted over.

That's only because it removes the oil from your hands when using it overtime. Old Glocks that are shiny simply have oils from people handling them. No real harm to the plastic. New Glocks are matted.

Sell it and get a RTF2 model

This stuff is the devil. It is too strong for most plastics. I have seen it melt plastic. Goo Gone is a much safer alternative.

Huh, I always thought they were pretty much the same thing. Good to know. Thanks!
