I've been using froglube for about 8 months. I was turned onto it by The smith at my local shop. He said it was the best stuff he'd seen in his 40 yrs of being a gun smith. Up until this point I'd used hoppes and slip and was happy with them.

I got my first small container and cleaned my 226. The biggest thing I noticed was how much crud it got off the gun that the other cleaners would take off. I pasted the stuff on heavy then heated the gun. After about 20 mins there was a big black puddle of crud under the gun.

I also noticed the slide and trigger felt better but this could have been in my head. After the next range trip I noticed the 226 was easier to clean. No scrubbing needed. Just wipe it down and run a bore snake and it's clean. Reapply, warm up then wipe Down and you're done.

For me it cleans better and makes future clean ups easier. Also seems to work as well as a lube as anything else I've used.
