i got some grease from food on my polymer FNP-9 pistol. what would be best to clean it off w/o harming the polymer??

also, the manual says NOT to use a teflon based lubricant. why is that?

Thanks...............Bill

PS this is an awesome pistol. it needs to get more attention in the community.

like from a burger and fries? Then a little dish soap, water and a rag should do the trick. just make sure to dry it well, maybe with a hair dryer.

Yeah, the FNP pistols are great.

Why can't you just use solvent? Like M-Pro7 or Hoppes?

I wouldl just get a rag, spray it w/ a little simple green, wipe & rinse...:D

I would like to know this also, I use Rem-Oil on my Glock and it contains Teflon, hope I ain't hurting it.

FN also advises you not to use Teflon based lubricants on their PS-90 and USG FiveseveN's.

They do advise using Breakfree, which confused me, because Breakfree used to advertise containing Teflon.

In any case, I use Breakfree. They don't seem to need much.

Simple Green wipe down, or a complete soak in it.

I flush out my Ruger P95 with brake cleaner. The plastic frame goes from shiny black to dull whitish gray until I wipe it down with CLP. Then it shines again. As far as I can tell, it has no effect. It certainly doesn't get gummy or seem to melt or degrade the plastic. And the insides come out sparkling clean.:D

The plastics in modern firearms are specifically formulated with the knowledge that gun owners will clean them with any chemical that comes to hand.

A little rubbing alcohol on a rag. It evaporates before it can hurt anything, and it's such a weak organic solvent that it can't hurt very much of anything.

If any suggestions worry you, try a dab of something on the inside of the grip piece.

I tried to wash polymer frames using hot water and got pretty nice results. But I dont do this very often ofcourse. simply wipe the frame with clean rag. this will be enough
