shootin-blanks Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I use diesel fuel & toothbrush blow off with air compressor. If you "de-grease" anything in Florida it will rust by tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

usmc1977 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Isopropyl alcohol (ribbing alcohol) is a great degreaser for metallic parts. It will clean down to the pores of the metal...but be sure to oil your parts right afterwards or they will rust in short order.

Remy Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) I’m not sure about non-chlorinated brake cleaner but chlorinated brake cleaner will remove paint from painted grips. I’d also be careful to keep it away from sights with painted dots. It’s probably not a bad idea to keep strong solvents away from the special coating on glass optics as well.

Non-chlorinated brake cleaner is as potent as the chlorinated version. It will remove paint from painted grips and dots on your sight and safety indicator. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Effectus Magis Per Minor Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I use Slip 2000 725 degreaser. That stuff is amazing, like industrial 409. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
