Do you ever read the threads? This thread is about CLP; it is not about cleaning products in general.

There is something to be said for separating out the C, the L, and the P. If you donāt mind taking that little extra time I do believe you absolutely get better results that way vs an all in one, even if the all in one is āgood enoughā
I split the difference and almost always use a CLP to clean, then an oil for lubrication (or some grease and oil both, depending on the firearm). That way if I donāt get oil on a spot for some reason it should still have some lube properties remaining

I read just fine, thanks.
Some of us realize the value of individual products as opposed to the āall in oneā products that have recently made their way on to the market.
Stay safe out there Mike.

I agree. Some folks are limited on time so, they may need to go with the āone size fits allā solution for caring for their firearms. And that I understand completely.
Thatās the nice thing about this forum. What works for you, may not work for me and vice-versa.
Stay safe out there Nathan.

Great assumption.

My son got several bottles of this when he took a one week USPSA introductory class:
G96 Productsā New Bio-Based Synthetic Gun Oil Triggers U.S. Army Approval ā G96 Products Inc.
He gave me one to try out. I used the the first time yesterday on my EDC. It had not been fired, just carried for about a month between lubrication refresh, but Iāll find out what I think of it next month when I break the EDC down again.
Edit: this is what Iāve been using and it is drier than a mouse fart after a month:

G96 is a good stuff.
Iām using G96 Liquid Grease mostly for storage but it works great with Glock-ish pistols.
Not recommended for tight fit firearms.
Hoppeās Elite and Black are great but only for short period of time. Lube the gun and shoot it.
For storage G96 does a great job.

I love CLP and itās good for semi-long storag too ( cpl-few years) . First time I got it ppl said ā why do you want that junk?āand Id say ā I like it, works for me ā. Iām having a hard time finding the good stuff I like itās in a black can with CLP on it in big yellow letters. I got sum from a local gun shop/range and it costed 16$ and itās red and in a little plastic round spray thing and I tossed that crap in file 13. My son was the first one to say it was junk then he said a cpl yrs later they sprayed it in the M2 .50s in Iraq when they gummed up. It seemed when I got that good kind there wasnāt anyother kind back then or at least I didnāt see any other kind. That stuff lasted me for years and want some more. BTW. I got from Sportsmans Guide & Surplus ā 1000 gun cleaning wicks, German Waffen on box Ang OMG It looked like in the catalog the box was about the size of the avg cigar box but it got here today and itās the size of 2 shoe boxes stacked up together! Neither me or my son or his son nor his grand kids will EVER need to buy a cleaning patch or ā wickā. Itās crazy! If about a dozen of you need any Iāll send you a pkg of them for free! I mean that,

Yes sir, that is what we had in the Army. It is the Milspec standard. We usually just called it Break Free as our generic description. I still use it, but I have developed an affinity for Lucas products lately.
