Froglube 4oz Paste Gun Cleaner - Clear - One Size

I heard a lot of good comments about this cleaner from reviewers in the US and decided to give it a try. The product is absolutely faultless and I cannot find any problems with it. In this review I will describe the application procedure and cleaning procedure using the Froglube paste, the directions taken from the manufacturers website. FIRST APPLICATION - Strip your firearm down as you normally would for cleaning. Remove any lubricant, oil or grease from all the metal work using a relevant oil removal (I used mineral spirits for this). - Heat up the metal parts so that they are "hot to the touch." I did this using a hairdryer. - Apply the froglube paste to the surface of the metal work, the heat will cause the paste to liquify. When applying to the bore I put a big blob in the chamber and pushed it down with a patch on a cleaning rod jag. - Make sure you only treat the parts as specified by the firearm manufacturer. For example, the manual for my Tikka T3 specifically states that the entire firing pin assembly within the bolt is to remain dry and does not require lubrication or oiling. - Allow the metal work to cool then wipe away the excess with a towel or shop rag, the excess froglube should have solidified into a wax again. You have now completed the first application. CLEANING - Strip your firearm down as you normally would for cleaning. - For the barrel, rub a patch into the froglube then send it down the barrel on a cleaning rod jag. - Scrub with barrel with either a bronze phosphorous brush or a nylon brush (manufacturer doesn't state which kind of brush, just says "scrub barrel." I performed ten passes starting from the receiver end. - Send patches down until they come out clean. SUMMARY As a comparison, this weekend I had taken some rifles out, two of the four had not been treated with froglube. Here we have: - Yugo M48, 8mm Mauser (160 rounds fired), pre-treated with froglube - CZ 527, .223 rem (200 rounds fired), pre-treated with froglube - Lee Enfield No4 Mk1, .303 British (<50 rounds fired), NO froglube - Marlin 1894, .357 magnum (50 rounds fired), NO froglube I immediately cleaned them after coming home. I was pleasantly surprised with the results. The two rifles which had been treated with froglube cycled very well. The CZ 527 used to be quite clunky on the bolt, but now it was as smooth as glass, it felt like brand new. After cleaning, I was very impressed with the results. Following the cleaning procedure above I had used less than 5 patches before they were clean. The first patch from each rifle was absolutely caked in carbon, this shows that the froglube and scrubbing removes a lot of the fouling which is picked up by the first patch. The two untreated rifles, despite a lower round count, took the best part of 10 patches using the same cleaning procedure. Although the froglube as a standalone cleaner gave similar results to conventional cleaners, this highlights how well the pre-treatment aids in future cleaning. As I understand the pre-treatment stops the carbon from "caking" onto the metal. The froglube acts as a film which makes it easier to remove during cleaning. All rifles ended up with a mirror shine bore. CONCLUSION I think the froglube has worked amazingly well, and is certainly much easier to use than traditional oiling and chemicals. I find that the pre-treatment has definitely made subsequent cleaning much easier and I much prefer the smell of this product than the harsh chemicals I would normally use. This product is 98% edible as approved by the FDA. I imagine it would not damage any finish of your rifles and would not cause any harm to the stock, if wiped away after cleaning. So far I've coated 4 rifles, cleaned 5 and I've not even got through one tenth of the tub. I'm finding it hard find criticisms, at first I thought it was quite expensive for the quantity, but after the resutls I've got I'd say it's more than worth it's cost.

Very good quality product definantly recommend

Arrived when expected. Does what it says on the tin. Highly recommended

Excelente, buen producto lubricante

This is great stuff and won't poison you too! I've used this grease for a number of years for its designed application as well as other metal on metal uses. It seems to work best if the mating parts are cleaned and stripped of oils, then applied as directed followed up by a period of time in a warm place to let it 'cook in'. It holds up pretty well, stays put and doesn't weep or run.

I like that this lubricant is in paste form. It’s less messy to use than an oil. It also smells good (wintergreen). I bought it to keep the rollers on my new rolling mill rust-free, but now use it to protect all my steel tools from rust. It’s very difficult to find in Canada, so I’ll continue to buy it on Amazon.

Recommandé par un ami. J'ai fais le test. Facile d'utilisation. J'en suis satisfait . Nettoi et protège. Une odeur agréable. Il en faut très peu pour qu'il fasse le travail. Autant dire que le pot de 118ml peu durer des années suivant l'utilisation. L'envoi a été rapide . Le vendeur serieux . Commande parfaite. Un grand merci Au plaisir

This is my first time using this product. I was looking for a good gun grease and found this. Let's talk about the scent. I wanted something that would not alert dear of my presence. This product has a peppermint smell to it. No hash or strong chemical oder that you get with CLP and other leading brands. Does it clean? Well it pulled debris from the barrel but I would not use it for cleaning. Best to thoroughly clean your firearm first then use this product to lubricate and to protect. Does it lubricate well. Absolutely. My M1A1 and my 1911 have never operated smoother than this. Even with deep cleans and using other brands for lubraction, they always sounded like they were grating or grinding with each action. With this product every action is smooth, no awful sounds. Does it protect? I can say with absolute certainty, yes. After I used this product on my 1911, I left it in my tool shed for two weeks. Not a speck of rust or anything. I strongly encourage you the reader to purchase this product. You will have no regrets. It cleans off easily. Its an oil based product so do not get it on anything that you dont want stained.
