Need gun cleaner that doesnt smell or is organic

[wreckdiver]

Gunzilla , all natural hippy friendly gun cleaner

This. I think you can even drink it. My wife bitches about Hoppes too. She can't even tell if I use Gunzilla.

Don't want to know where your nose has been but Eezox sells like fresh cut hay.

Yeah, that's what they tell you on their website FAQs, but you've clearly never used a public restroom with a urinal before.

Clearly you've never used Eezox.

I have and use Eezox. You need to see a doc about your nose if it smells like cut hay to you. That, or your farmer is doing some wacky stuff to his hay.

Urinal cake scent is all the rage these days. Go with Eezox

I've always felt that "urinal" and "cake" should never appear in the same sentence...

Clearly.

Anyone who actually has some Eezox and doesn't like the smell, I'll be glad to take it off your hands, no charge!

My wife HATES Hoppes.....makes my relaxing gun cleaning time hell....lol

The CLP Breakfree Foamy does not bother her at all, so peace returns to gun cleaning time.

Will try some of the others mentioned too.

For degreasing gun parts, I love Simple Green, but jimbobborg is correct in that it will tarnish anodized aluminum. But all my guns are steel or plastic, so I'm good.

Frog lube or Mpro 7

After trying Froglube for a month I can say i'm putting it back on the shelf as it gums everything up. My 22/45 is pretty disgusting after 200 rounds of using froglube. I did the cleaning as recommended on all my firearms, heated them up, painted on the lube, let it sit completely, waited a day, applied another coat.

After going through all that, the result was that things got pretty gummed up after minimal rounds and the action didn't seem to cycle or be any smoother that using plain old remoil and using Hoppe's. The benefit of the Froglube for me is the smell and that turns out to be about it.

At the range I shoot at, they use and are selling FireClean which I bought a bottle of to try. Talking with some of the guys at the range that use it, they said they used Froglube and had the same issue w/ gumming up actions. They are using FireClean and say it performs really well and doesn't gum up. The same people also recommended GunZilla which I have not tried yet.

No need to leave a lot of froglube on, unless you are packing the firearm away for a long time. It has worked very well for me, with no gumming.

I would use Eezox for long term storage anyway. The anti-rust properties of Eezox are better. There are some tests you can Google.

I'm sorry... "my wife doesn't like" doesn't compute in my brain housing group... I don't understand?

Absolutely. This is the main reason I use Eezox.

Is this an older firearm? Of so, did you strip down with alcohol like is recommended? Also, you are supposed to wipe off the excess after the metal cools, it should not remain caked on the internals and stored this way. I've known several people with 1000+ rounds through their guns without cleaning and haven't had a single FTF, certainly no "gumming" issues. The only way I could see this is if the gun previously had large amounts of petrol based lubricant still inside, excess wasn't wiped off, and fired in a cold environment.

Good luck with what you end up with, but your experience is very atypical from high demand shooters that I've met using it.

Sister in law bought me a huge bottle of gunzilla a couple of Christmas's back and i have had good luck with it.

Yep, I love the way it smells. Eezox seems to be THE BEST rust preventative short of something thick like Cosmo.

Me, I got turned onto WipeOut as a cleaner a few years ago and haven't looked back, it only smells faintly of ammonia and gets stuff out of bores that other cleaners haven't. I like Ballistol too, nearly odorless and lots of other uses. I have some Froglube but haven't really put it through its paces...

Dump her and use Eezox.

Sad....took 37 posts for you to get there.
