What do you use to wipe down your guns?
 
Time for a new can of oil to use to wipe down my guns after handling them. Curious what options are out there for general use.

Thanks,

JDG

Jay, I use Ballistol for both wood and metal.

I prefer balistol, a citrus based product that wont harm wood. I have been using it for 20+ years, never a problem and odor is pleasant. Jim

I use Ballistol also ,The advertisement claims once you put this on the Gun it always wears a protective film , I also use it on both Wood and Metal parts ! It does have a strong odor ," at least to me " ,and I usually will take my guns outside to wipe them down with this material ,the odor dissipates once you put it on the Firearm !

I happen to have a can of Balistol handy. Do you dilute it or use it as is on a rag?

Dave Suponski 02-09-2013 01:09 PM

Jay, I spray or soak a cotton a couple of cleaning patch's and apply.

I use Eezox. Great stuff.

Just wiped down an old Sweet Sixteen with Balistol and effect was remarkable and immediate. Using just an old tee-shirt I was able to remove quite a bit of grime that I couldn't detect. Easy to use and it didn't take much, that's for sure.
