5 minutes on cleaning

I understand the fears of using CLR on a blued barrel, but with the stainless steel quality we have in a bbl, Sweets is just as worrisome , if not more, than CLR. I've used CLR with bare hands for 30-40 minutes at a time and had no irritation or problems. Everyone is different, but I just run 2 patches wet with 99% isopropyl alcohol after using, then coat the bore with hbn....custom bbl's and factory and no problems yet....rsbhunter
 
Meh…I use Hoppes. I've used the more aggressive products but a few wet patches followed by several strokes of a bronze brush followed by a few more wet patches work. I let it sit overnight and the next day plenty of carbon comes out and even some copper. I don't worry about copper until accuracy suffers. I clean my guns frequently enough they don't get so fouled and nasty more aggressive products are needed.
 
question is this a mis read, typo ???
the comment was CLR a sa carbon buster, not CLP
I showed CLP in the video too, despite the fact that I didn't actually use it in the video. I made that mistake when shooting the video, simply because when I'm cleaning gas guns or lubing random parts... I always have it handy.

i have been using CLR(NOT CLP) AS A CARBON REMOVER for well over a year with no down sides.
a couple of blued rifles, no issues, mainly ss or nitrited.
i do not use bronze/brass brushed in most my cleaning.
plastic/fiber brushes, jags and patches
