What do you use to wipe down your guns?

I've always loved the smell of Hoppe's #9. Would be good made into a cologne for men. I use a lamb's wool wipe with either Hoppes or Rem oil. Been meaning to try Ballistol. My Dad for his whole life cleaned both inside and outside his guns with Hoppe's and they are in pristine shape. I guess the moral to this story is don't neglect them, wipe 'em down with something and they will be read to hand down to the next generation in good shape.
