You can remove all petroleum products with denatured alcohol. In fact, I use EEZOX on ALL my firearms, BP and smokeless because it works so damn well at keeping rust away. When I'm ready to shoot the BP firearm I clean up the EEZOX with denatured alcohol and I'm good to go.
You should NEVER use WD40 on ANY firearm. It builds up a gummy, plastic-like coating. It's just bad news for guns.
