I have a Remington 597 22lr that the came with a hydro dipped stock. I have had it for nine years, and the finish still looked like it did when it was new. That gun has never been in a case and has rode around in the truck, been hunted with, carried on several overnight hike in camping trips and been through almost 3000 rounds. Most if not all bows are hydro dipped these days and the finish generally holds up very well. It is not as bomb proof as cerakote. I decided that i wanted to paint that stock and used brake clean to prep it and it removed the finish. That being said, it was never harmed with any regular gun cleaning solvents.
