What is your choice of cleaning solution for your guns?
Mudinyeri:
Blue Wonder and Hoppes #9

You got that one right. Probably requires an MS in Chemistry to get it right the first time.
Old Timers rave about it. Maybe they drink the stuff at the end of the cleaning job.
I happen to use conventional cleaning materials direct from the store shelf:
>Hoppe's #9
>Birchwood Casey Gun Scrubber and other products.
>Q20 Blu works very well as a surface finishing oil for storage.
>Shooter's Choice to remove copper from bores.
Still looking for something that Removes Lead Like Magic. Instead of having to brush, brush, brush, brush..................................

What's so hard about mixing up Ed's Red? Equal amounts of ATF,kerosene,acetone,turpentine or mineral spirits.Lanolin is optional and I don't think it's needed.I mix it up in a 1 gal gas can.Works great on leading and carbon fouling.For copper fouling Wipeout is the best I've found,but I always finish up with Ed's for bore protection due to the anti-corrosion properties of ATF.FWIW--Mike. PS- For leading,before you resort to harsher measures try a tight fitting patch soaked with turpentine.

Blue Wonder removes lead like magic but you'll want to rinse it off of your brushes after use. I also run a cloth down the barrel with Hoppes #9 after using Blue Wonder.

You need to clean your guns? :o
I need to change up my supplies. Right now its hopes and RemOil. I have tried a bit of simple green... it works pretty darn good but was nerves about using it so I stopped.
