I have used these before and they will rinse a part bone dry. Then you should reoil, but how often do you hear the advice to spray out the inards and add a few drops of oil after? Without a full detail strip and reoil, it is my opinion that these can remove more oil than normal oiling can replace, especially on an at or th like.

So now I prefer a non-deoiling cleaning method like, scrub with CLP, wipe as clean as I can wipe, then reapply CLP.

I would rather have a bit of unseen dirt with oil carrying it from harms way than a bone dry spot which I don't reoil.
