I am just about out of my cleaning liquids and am wondering what you guys like, that works. I usually buy in quantity so the last time I purchased liquids was more than 15 years ago. What new stuff works??
I'm having difficulty removing copper from several used guns that I bought as well as some old standbys are giving me grief trying to get the moly, from the coated bullets, out.
Sweets has been my go to for a long time as well as Gunslick Foaming Bore Cleaner spray. Does anything work better?
 
I have migrated totally to Boretech. The Copper Remover works really good as does the Carbon Remover. For my 22LR I splurged and got the Rimfire specific one.

You can't go wrong with them. They work great.
 
For cleaning barrels and removing copper, it's hard to beat Pro-Shot Copper Solvent IV. Been using it for over 10 years. Great stuff. And for everything else that needs a more gentle cleaner, I use RemOil.
 
BoreTech or Sharp Shoot R products work well. J-B paste for extreme fouling from abusive use/lack of cleaning.
 
Bore Tech
It flat out works and I like that it doesn't harm the bore if left in place.

Wipeout foam for the normal routine cleaning every couple hundred rounds with boretech c4 carbon and c2 copper every few normal cleanings.

Boretech is all you need. I do keep some CLR around in case of a nasty carbon ring.
