The Hoppe's No.9 is supposed to be okay for the 642 and I think it would have been fine but, looking back, I'm pretty sure there were existing nicks in the clear coat and I believe the solvent got under the clear coat at those spots and they became worse. I bought the gun used and should have inspected it a little closer before buying it. This was my first pistol purchase and I was excited to find what I was looking for at the ideal price. After closer inspection I found a lot to indicate the previous owner did not clean the barrel and cylinder very well. There was a lot of powder residue in both. That's why I was using solvent in the first place. Also, there are quite a few nicks and dings on the frame. I blame myself for buying it even though it was a little messed up. Oh well, it's in okay shape but I'll lay off the Hoppe's No.9!!!!! Thanks for your input guys.
