After you've done the initial application of heating up and applying, wipe off and assemble, what do you do for the next cleaning? I'm currently doing the same thing on my AR and my AR is running really smooth so I'm happy with the product, but just curious about what everybody else is doing? Do you re-heat and apply after every trip to the range?

If I only shoot about less than 200 rounds after some short range time I don't reheat or reapply. Only after a weekend camping trip of about 400-500 rounds will I re-clean. -
Be carful not to allow any residue to stay on your ar it may slow your cycle rate. You should be able to just apply and wipe it off, they have a stripper alsoComment

I also don't reheat and reapply until I have ran hundreds of rounds. I just wipe it down put it back together and lock it up. So far it's worked very well for me and makes my safe smell minty fresh.The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria)"Comment

After the initial application, you shouldn't have to reapply it until several thousand rounds have been cycled through. When I clean my guns I use the paste with a brush and it helps break up the carbon deposits really well and the barrel gets really clean also. It is a CLP, and so far I have had excellent results. Also, the wife doesn't get upset with the minty fresh scent!
Oh I almost forgot, after cleaning I use the liquid to lube all of the friction points. No FTE or FTF yet.

I strip it with frickin brake cleaner and get every last little speck of that crap out of my gun, and lube it with a proper lubricant that isn't going to get me killed.Comment

I use it on 2 Benelli semi-automatic shotguns (Supersport and M2, both 12 gauge) and also on my semi-automatic pistol (Beretta Px4 Storm 9mm). After the initial application, I never really bothered to do the reheating again and all my firearms seems to function smoothly.
After each trip to the range (mostly trap shooting with my wife these days), I clean my firearms with froglube and it seems enough to maintain the smoothness. So unless you strip the froglube on your gun off completely, or shoot so much that that all the froglube burnt off during the range session, you should not need to do the reheat thing again.
BTW if you shoot shotguns with removable chokes and have trouble with carbon and plastic sticking to the choke, try this: Use a brush and apply a layer of Froglube paste to the inside of the choke, but DON'T wipe off the excess. Just leave the froglube paste inside the choke and shoot it. You'll find that carbon and plastic will not stick on the choke, not even after 300 rounds of cheat dirty birdshots (max. I've tried so far).Comment

Just cleaned my AR. Took apart the bcg and wiped everything down (coated it) with a 4" patch with some lube on it then dried it with a microfiber pretty much right away and re-assembled. Well see how it runs next time I shoot it.Comment
