I've owned a few cans of Ballistol since 1997 or so.
I think it's great for most firearm/gun care uses. It's safe, non toxic, CFC free and easy on the wallet,
.
I've used it around the home & on gear/footwear too.
Other good CLPs include; LPX, Slip2000, Weaponshield, and Gunzilla.
Gunzilla has a cool infomercial like video that makes it seem great.
It and LPX got a good rep in SW Asia with US armed services. They used Gunzilla on M9 pistols, M249 machine guns(SAWs), M2 .50BMGs, sniper rifles, etc.
Several years ago, I cleaned & oiled my cousin's worn out old 1100 12ga shotgun with Ballistol. It got all the crud, rust, lead, carbon out of it and made the wood stock shine,
