trgt Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I believe it was brake cleaner that removed the red painted on 'safety' dots on all my CZ frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheby Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) this thread reminds me that I probably will need to clean my gun at some point in the near future. It's been 4K rds since I clean it last time... Edited March 20, 2017 by cheby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrswanson1 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 IIRC Carb Cleaner gets at carbon deposits, which Brake Cleaner doesn't. I haven't noticed a problem with Carb Cleaner and my grip tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcarr Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I don't understand the use of harsh chemicals to clean guns. They are hard coated/painted finishes ... remove painted areas like the red dot on the safety. Some evaporate so quickly they don't do much of any good except remove oil residue and some leave a residue of their own. I use mineral sprits. It soaks into powder crud and loosens it to the point it just wipes away and does not hurt any finish. It's cheap... I would use it regardless of price...

plus45acp Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I use Titegroup in almost all my pistol loads and don't find it that dirty. IME, it's the firearm lubrication that one uses that is the true culprit when it comes to collecting crub in your gun. That being said, I almost exclusively utilize Balistol to clean all my firearms and then apply Weapon Shield as the lubricant. I've found the more you use Weapon Shield, the easier it is to clean your firearm as the crud literly just wipes off. Weapon Shirld also has the added benifit of almost "rejecting" the buildup of crap in your gun. Great stuff it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
