Hoppe's Elite Gun Cleaner, 32 oz. Spray Bottle

This Hoppe’s Elite gun cleaner leaves a sticky residue on everything it touches. After cleaning your firearm with Hoppe’s Elite, you then need to clean it again to get the sticky residue off. Ill use it to cleanall my firearms one time, then I'm throwing it away and going back to the tried snd true CLP.

I use Hoppes Elite to clean my firearms and it dissolves carbon easily, without the harsh fumes of ballistol, while being just as effective.I really like the thin film it applies as a protectant, and then follow up with Lucas Heavy Duty Oil.No issues, my Sig is very happy.

Works just like you'd expect Hoppe to work but without the strong solvent order. It's a welcome change to a product I have been using for decades.

I have used petroleum based cleaners (.g., Hoppes #9, Ballistoil, Breakfree CLP) and the problem I have with all of them is the strong odor. If you like the smell, then you will have no problem, but I don't care for them. The Hoppes Elite is detergent based and cleans up with water. More important, there is no odor! If I didn't like this stuff, why would I be buying the 32 ounce size? It's the most economical way to purchase it. I transfer the liquid to the smaller 4 oz spray bottle which was the first size that I tried.Of course, to really get the lead and gunfire residue out of the chambers and barrel, you need to use Lead Away patches! The combination of Lead Away and Hoppe's Elite is the 1-2 punch when it comes to gun cleaning!

I replace my "Hoppe's 9" with this stuff primarily so that I could clean my firearms insidewithout annoying my wife with the smell. It works well but not quite the way the olderproduct did. ie: It's not an oily kind of liquid and drys more quickly. So you need toget down to business scrubbing the deposits and wiping off the dirty residue. The oldercleaner let you have the parts 'soak' a while and there was no rush to remove the dirtyliquid.

This stuff works great and is usable indoors without my wife complaining of the smell. Still use No9 bore solvent outdoors for the actual bores, but this stuff is great for the detail cleaning of all the other parts. Love the large quantity bottle... I use it to refill smaller spray bottles that are easier to handle at the work bemch.

This stuff cleans great. I had been buying the 4 oz. size locally when I spotted this 32 oz. size on Amazon priced at what I would pay for 2 of the 4 oz. bottles. I refill an empty 4 oz. bottle from this 32 oz. size, and get 8 refills. So 8 for the price of 2 - works for me! The fact that the product works great is the primary reason for buying it. The deal on Amazon made it a no-brainer.

You will need to clean up carbon eventually and this is a must if you plan on keeping this in good order. Basically I can't see another brand out beating this.

works and very little smell
