Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with FIREClean or any other product, just sharing my experience due to two or three daily "Which gun oil?" threads.
Ive always seen the gun oil market as largely just "snakeoils", and have always had just fine results with good old Hoppes, Hoppes Elite and even Mobil 1 for my firearm maintenance.
I came up on a good deal for two bottles of FIREClean recently, and it had my attention because I have seen advertisements for every company's game changing lube/cleaner products, but haven't seen anything from FIREClean other than testimonial pictures from independent people or real before and after pics of treatment.
I am not a "white glove" guy when it comes to most of my guns, most of my rifles get a wipe down every 3-500 rounds save for precision style types, but my carry guns and HD weapons are more meticulously cleaned. Here is what I found when applying FIREClean to my 'clean' Glock 20, which hadnt been fired since being cleaned and lubed with Hoppes and Hoppes Elite:
Just applying the FIREClean as directed, on a 'clean' gun after wiping off the old oil as best I could killed these Q-tips, as well as 3 more that werent as bad. This wasn't a full strip either, just the standard areas I clean normally.
I followed this up with a wipe down and re-application the next morning, and the metal almost feels like it was treated like my Micro-slicked BCG in one of my AR's. I will see how well it does in my class this weekend.
YMMV, JMHO, etc
