Want to do a test. FrogLube vs Gunzilla vs ??

any updates on this?

I'd like an update as well. At the moment I generally just use Tuff-cloth + baby wipes + Q-tips. Tiny bit of CLP if necessary. Works fairly well, but not necessarily purpose-designed for firearms.

To measure a lubricant you need to use a calorimeter. I think that's how it's spelled. I would suggest using it at various temperatures to simulate the effects of a hot firearm on the lubricant.

The test is for cleaning ability, and not lubricity.

I shot some of my guns last week. I took some before and after cleaning pictures.

The gun(s) were lubed with my homemade motor oil concoction before firing. I didn't apply anything after shooting. I let the dirty-oily gun sit for 4 days. I fired a little over 100 lead reloads with my 45 Taurus

This is a before and after picture of the barrel. I only wiped it down with a paper towel. I didn't use any solvent.



You can see some lead still in the barrel. No solvent was used; I just wiped it out with a paper towel.




This one I wiped with a paper towel, but I couldn't get all the corners cleaned, so I used an old tooth brush and a bar of Dial soap with warm water.



Inside slide cleaned with Dial soap.





You don't need expensive cleaners or lube. Motor oil and a bar of soap works great.

I'm curious to know how the tests turned out. Any updates?

I use Frog Lube these days but I totally agree with you on the Dial soap cleaning. It cleans spotless and doesnt have chemicles that can make you sick or ruin a finish. I just don't understand why some folks feel the need to spray horrible gun cleaners on their guns. Gun Scrubber and Hoppes are so overkill for general cleaning and damaging to delicate finishes.

You can achieve better results without the smell using dial soap and warm water. I don't wash my car with paint thinner or chlorine, why would I use Gun Scrubber on my guns. Dial soap is gental and breaks down carbon really well.

Isn't soap and water risky since you can't get the water out of all the tight areas and moving parts? I'd hate to rust up an expensive gun to save on cleaning stuff

air compressor or canned air.

Is Weapon Shield non toxic? Will I grow a third arm in a few years down the road?
