downtownvWhat do we like for gun Cleaning Solvent these days?
Hoppes is about to run out and there have been a lot of higher-tech cleaners out there in the past 5 years. What are you in love with?
Thanks.

MikeinNCI use Kroil on the bore of my rifles...and hoppes for whatever else...and use just about any sewing oil grade oil or the quart of mobile one I have in the garage for lubricant

RogueJSKCLP for general cleaning. Hoppes for when I want a dedicated solvent. Brake Cleaner for serious cleaning/degreasing.

The heavy stuff still gets Hoppes but I need to get some Slip 2000 Carbon Killer to try.

PhredI’ve been using Lucas recently. It seems to work well.

sns3guppyKroil works well, but for a good firearm solvent, I haven't found anything that works better than Hoppes 9.
Plain old stoddard solvent works well, but Hoppes is a good choice on most finishes, most surfaces, and pretty much everything on the firearm. I just picked up a tall bottle.
I use a paint pen to highlight the numbers on my magazines, and to mark them with the pistol, and caliber. I write over the numbers on the magazine, then wipe off the excess. Hoppes takes off everything that isn't number, leaving a nice, crisp white number, easy to read. Hoppes works for all kinds of stuff.

divilI am still using Hoppes #9 as well.

WaterburyBobYou can mix up a batch of "Ed's Red" bore cleaner yourself. It's a pretty good cleaner.
Just Google it for the recipe.
