I use:

Hoppe's
Break-Free
Rem-Oil
B-C Gun Scrubber.

I am going to try FP-10 and see how it stacks up to Break-Free.

Shooter choice, Hoppes, Ed's Red and Quick Scrubber on occasion. I've got a can of Breakfree here, but I have yet to use it to clean a gun.

Rarely. Hoppe's and/or Break Free and a bore brush.

I use G-96 mostly. Have used CLP, too. Both pretty similar. G-96 smells good enough that my spouse let's me clean in the house. That's important.

I use Gun Scrubber if there is nasty leading or copper fouling, but otherwise G-96 does everything for me.

Hoppes #9, because that's what I have.

Besides, what else is perfumed kerosene...?

I use Mpro 7 to clean because it doesn't smell and it's non toxic. My lube/protectant is Eezox.

I bought some mPro-7 and thought it was the worst I'd ever used. Gave it away to a guy shooting black powder.

BreakFree, Butch's Bore Shine.

I like Shooters Choice products. Have you tried the new "Shooters Choice Extreme Clean" bore and action cleaner yet? It's ammonia free and non-abrasive and very fast in removing fouling and copper. A little expensive but well worth the cost. $15-$16 for a 12 oz. can.

first cleaning gun scrubber then Sentry Solutions and after using Sentry Solutions I very seldom have to clean my guns from scratch. Great products!

Spray down with Prestone Brake Parts Cleaner (poor man's Gunscrubber), clean bore with Hoppe's #9 or Shooters Choice, lube up with CLP, let soak, then blow off excess with compressed air.

Ballistol. Non-toxic, light lube and cleaner.
I use this for 4 years with excellent results...

Yes. Definitely. We need cleaner polls. Too much smut going around in the ones that I've read so far.

Ack!!!

I like FP-10!

Be it packaged by MPC or Shooters Choice makes no difference .
I do like Shooters Choice applicator bottle better though.
