Just ordered a couple of cans of Ballistol from Amazon. My current cleaning involves a a cleaning with a Solvent and then liberal coat of gun oil. My problem is that dissolvent makes the smell very strong.
On YouTube I always watch Hickhok45 and he uses this stuff so I figured I'd give it a try.
This is the one I ordered

I use non chlorinated brake cleaner. Hopps #9 in the barrel. Spray the rest with brake cleaner and then oil it up.
Edited: to change from fluid to cleaner!

I hope you mean brake cleaner, not brake fluid...

Yes, thanks! I meant to say brake cleaner. I will edit my post above.

I've use it wth pretty good results. I've also used CLP. Watch some of Hickok45's vids on Glock cleaning. He also uses alcohol when doing more than a field strip cleaning. I tend to like Hickok45 and use a lot of his recommendations.
