Default Cleaning solvents

Hi everyone,

I'm curious to see what everyone uses as far as cleaning solvents for their guns.
And I mean all of them, solvents, oils, sprays, magic stuff, etc...

Lets hear it! What's the best out there?

I use Shooter's Choice for regular bore cleaning. Sweet's 7.62 for more subborn application. Barnes CR-10 for really serious copper removal. Use Break Free for lube. Gun Scrubber for light cleaning of gunk. Anything more serious goes in the solvent tank.

Default RE: Cleaning solvents

my chemicals of choice currently are:

M-Pro7/Hoppe's Elite
Outer's Foaming Bore Cleaner
Barnes CR-10 or Sweet's 7.62 for stubborn copper fouling
FP-10 for CLP & lube purposes
Tetra grease for those parts that need grease

And for blackpowder cleaning, I use a 50/50 mix of Simple Green & water.
