I live here on the Island , While most times I work Hi and dry, sometimes just onshore other times might be on a boat off shore. In the summer time I sweat a lot.
My carry guns are a plastic and steel modern marvels.

For cleaning I use a bore snake . front end with some Hoppes #9 and some 3 in one oil on the back end .. One swipe is all it takes.
I clean using those brightly colored microfiber towels. sometimes a quick scrub with a tooth brush a tiny drop of three in one oil on the rubbing pivoting metal parts.

Then I spray all the parts down with Liquid Wrench Silicone spray making sure that I get the rails and all the outside parts as well. I don't soak the gun but go for complete coverage.

I could be wrong, but its been drummed into me that oil and plastic don't mix well water just beads up on my guns. Maybe the oils greases and potions made for gun are better but 3 in one is cheap easy to control, and seems to do a good job. the silicone spray seems to be a good lubricant but its a great protectant.
