I have used kerosene and other petroleum based fractional distillate products (fuels or solvents) to clean cosmolene and other preserving / stabilizing protective agents from military surplus deep storage reserve caches - parts washer cabinets found in automotive shops and break cleaning fluid as well as lighter fluid will do an effective job - if you are careful about ventilation and sparks / using brass tools / soaking your clothing lest you turn into a human torch or bipedal ambulatory fuel air bomb...
As I suspect many of you know you can drop a match into an open topped container of gasoline and if it's well ventilated to prevent build up if fumes either the match will go out floating on the surface or will light the top like a candle (as opposed to cooking off and / or burning up all the available oxygen I the zone of pyromaniac activity)
One of the problems with such solvents including hoppes or break free or gun oil or blue wonder is that they completely eliminate any lubrication or POL preservatives - stripping the metal clean of such chemicals. Unattended these exposed surfaces will rust - and if fired and handled without reapplication of correct lubricants and oils will mechanically bind or heat up from friction and can fail spectacularly...
The super hot water or application of live steam also works - but if you ate not careful you will boil your skin off or suffer deep tissue burns - and with this method the cosmoline deposits on nearby non heated surfaces - like shower tiles or bathroom tiles and can be rather difficult and time consuming to clean off again.
Apropos of nothing but a word to the wise thread commentary.

WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT?
Anyway, I use a cleaning brush mounted to an electric drill. I read on here that works great.
I run it at high speed so it is Mo Betta. I pour Kroil down the barrel until it smokes. Good to go then. All done here. :twisted:0 -
Tactical Tupperware should be dishwasher safe - maybe you the detergent folk can develop a hoppes #9 pod...
Than your glock can come out smelling of cucumber or lilacs or mountain berry.

Besides it smells good. I wish I could find an old article that I remember reading. It was a corrosion test using all the popular gun oils/preservatives, to see which ones worked best. All the little steel plates were cleaned with Hoppes and then the oils/preservatives applied. One plate was just wiped with Hoppes as a control. Guess which plate had the least corrosion. Yup you guessed it - plain old Hoppes. May not be the best for long term storage but the high $ stuff couldn't beat it over the several weeks of testing. Bob0
