The Official MSGO cleaner/lubricant thread
I have seen these subjects debated to great lengths (beat to death) on other forums so I thought that my "home" forum could use a thread about it, kind of a rite of passage for the forum of sorts.
In my internet travels, I have read about people cleaning thier guns with everything from Hoppe's to brake cleaner and lubing it with everything ranging from Outer's to bacon grease (yup!) to 10w 30 synthetic motor oil. I personally use Hoppe's but I have some brake cleaner and Mobil 1 on standby for when I'm feeling brave.
What do you guys (and gals) use for care and feeding and why?

WD40 :rotflmao:
I remember when I locked up a Remington 1100 shotgun tighter than d**k's hatband in the middle of a dove field with birds all around using that stuff
Had to detail strip the gun and soak parts...The great grit and grime attractant

Gunzilla aint very expensive...a quart lasts me a year and I clean a hell of a lot of guns...
Too much BS to mix up all that other stuff....main thing is the other stuff smells like sh!t and I hate being relegated to the garage for cleaning....cause the house smelled like a chemical plant
Lots of that stuff will ruin a nice wood finish if you have a boo boo and spill some
As for Sweets...its good for copper but the amonia in it is horrible and you gotta make sure you get it all out or it will eat a barrel up
The best lubricant I've ever seen is Krano Kroil....Benchrest shooters use it ...for a reason
I use Hoppe's #9 for aftershave
