On sale on Amazon right now. Wondering if it is safe for use on polymer like Glock? Any thoughts? What do you guys recommend to use? I?m running out of my own stuff and I can?t find the same brand anywhere.

Yes it's safe for polymer frames, but you don't need to use it very often. There is no need to spray this stuff into the trigger area of any firearm. Most guns don't get dirty enough to need this type of intensive cleaning of the action
It removes ALL oils which leaves steels open to corrosion.
Basically that spray is no different than the brake cleaner you can get at WalMart for less than half the price. (it's what I use if needed on individual parts and pieces.)
You can also use denatured alcohol in a spray bottle...Poke'm with a stick!

OK, then that would bring me to the question what would be the ideal cleaner to use on my gun collection? There?s so many different options. I?m not sure. I?m not using frog lube though.sigpic

I really don't call that a "cleaner" it's more of a total lubricant remover / flush.
I don't think I've ever just sprayed it into the action of any Glock, or a slide. Now that said if the slide was completely disassembled I would use it to remove dirt and gunk, But I would then relube lightly with some sort of oil before reassembly.
For most guns which aren't exposed to dirt and moisture I use Hoppes in very small amounts to remove fouling. Then I use ballistol for a lubricant.Poke'm with a stick!

I mostly just use Breakfree CLP to clean and lube. Works fine on polymer, blued, stainless steel and nitrated parts and guns, not see issues with wood either (but I try to avoid contact with wood).
I do use MPro 7 cleaner from time to time on really dirty parts and barrels. Seem to break carbon down a bit better and slso works much better to get copper out of barrels.
I topped trying to get everyday guns squeaky clean, but above does work well for nicer setups to get them showroom clean.Comment
