Re: Balistol vs Hoppes

Great information. It seems like they have an “oil of the week” club. I have always used Ballistol. The Ballistol works well on the wood stocks and grips too. Ballistol does not hurt the G-10 grips or polymer. I will stick with Ballistol for me. Again though a great informative videos.

In order to properly clean a gun, a substance has to be a solvent which dissolves dirt, grime, old dirty lubricants, etc.
If a product dissolves lubricants, how can it also be a lubricant itself?
I would bet that most lubricants are also solvents or mixed with a solvent. You soak a patch with a CLP type product and the solvent removes most of the old junk and deposits some new cleaner junk.
Does it make any difference. My guns seem to work well with all of the commercial products. What I have never found is a product that removes carbon buildup.
Try Slip 2000.
