Best CLP

GunZilla for CLP............all natural and it does not smell.

For lube, 75/25 mixture of Mobil 5 and transmission fluid.

When it comes to gun cleaning and lubrication, I am lazy, and I do it really well. I use Hoppe's Gun Medic Bio-Based Cleaner & Lube for a quick firearm action cleaning.
 
Wipeout bore cleaner w/activator for copper/ powder fouling
50/50 Kroil/Shooters Choice pre-soak for rimfire
CorrosionX for most lube / corrosion applications.
Mobil 1 for 1911 slide lube
 
Ballistol here. I have a gallon of Break Free that I bought for a great price, but haven't opened it yet. Also have a gallon of military surplus CLP that a friend gave me. He bought the estate of a career National Guard mechanic. Guy basically had a junkyard behind his house. My buddy found all kinds of cool stuff out there, including two gallons of the CLP in the guy's shed. He kept one and gave me one. I haven't used it yet, either.
My cousin gave me a gallon of Break Free 20 years ago. I use nothing else. You have a lifetime supply.
 
Breakfree CLP for AR and most gun cleanings and treatment. Hoppes to wipe down the nice blued shotgun parts and such after they are cleaned.

I wanted to switch to Ballistol, but the smell... And Breakfree has treated me very well.

I think Break Free smells worse than Ballistol, but that is certainly subjective. Ballistol smells like the anise plants my mom grew when I was a kid.
 
I have recently switched from Breakfree CLP to Shooters Choice FP-10 because of the duty coat/melonite finish on my Valkyrie and GI No Name. CLP can cloud the finish on these guns and it was easier to switch everything to one CLP vs having more than one on the bench and having the potential to cause issues. I also use Super Tech High Temp grease that you can get from Walmart on alum framed guns. I prefer grease for lube where steel rides on alum.

In the end I have never found one product to be really superior to another. I clean the guns after most range sessions. I don't shoot in extreme conditions for thousands of rounds without cleaning so in my experience almost everything works as well as anything else. So these days I choose low odor and easy handling stuff when I can.
 
These folks make oil and grease for Penn Reel, and tried it for the gun market. I'd like to revive the gun line.

That friction test did not use equal amounts of oil, at 1:35 vs 3:08, the oil level is twice as much.
