[QUOTE="Moman, post: 354505, member: 10494"] I too have tried most of the products mentioned, with the exception of BTE. Right now on my bench, there are at least a dozen products from when I was looking for the Holy Grail of gun cleaning. I haven't tried the BTE because I haven't needed to, although enough people have raved about it, I'm sure it works great. My process now is as follows> One wet patch of Wipe Out accelerator, followed by one wet patch of Patch Out. This is a slightly stronger version of Wipeout foam, and easier to use. I let this sit about 45 minutes to an hour and a clean patch on a jag to push out. I follow this procedure once more and jag patch out. After this I use Hoppes #9, which in my opinion is still a good product, and wet patch followed by jag. At the end of this, I wet patch again with Hoppes and gently set muzzle down on a clean white sock and let soak. Occassionally I can still get a little more powder fouling out if left overnight. In doing this, I hardly ever brush my bores. Maybe once or twice a year to make sure I'm not missing something or building up a carbon ring. If I do brush, it does take a while to foul them enough to settle back down. As far as Sweets losing it's strength, not too sure but have an idea that it does. I have a bottle of it that is about two years old and worthless. It does say to store in a cool place, and mine has been in the garage where it does get pretty warm in the summer. May have something to do with it. Make sure you use a good rod and bore guide. That's probably more important than what product you use to clean. [/QUOTE]
