When I was in the USAF, we could use compressed air to clean stuff. Protective eyewear was required up to 35 PSI. Above that, we had to wear the full face shields. Based on that, I use 30 PSI for general cleaning.KB5AKO wrote:I also utilize an air compressor. How much pressure are you fellas running?

Re: What's in YOUR cleaning kit?
I just lay an old towel across my lap and hold the frame or slide between my legs and blast away. Any excess cleaning fluid or lubrication is caught by the towel. The compressed air also helps in pushing the gun oil into hard to reach areas. This saves me from having to apply more oil than necessary.

Air compressor.
Instead of using 100 Q-tips to dry it out after scrubbing with Hoppes, just blow it all out. Same thing after oiling. Blow off the excess.
