Anyone Heard of a Gun Cleaner/lube Called "Gibbs"?

Saw the stuff at a gunshow this weekend. It can be used as a solvent and as a replacement for oil. It ate through rust and left what looked like a polymer(?) coating on the metal that did not attract dirt. Seller said it was not petro-based. I guess it is sort of like Armor All for guns. Except this stuff came in a spray can and was also a good replacement for "brake-free".

Stuff looked slick and I am wondering if anyone has used it and can post any good or bad things about the product.

I've never seen it.

Yeah, that is the stuff. My buddy bought a old semi-auto handgun on Sunday and he was going to try and clean the handgun up using some of the Gibbs as a test of the product. I am waiting to find out how it worked.

The gun (1950's French .380 made by "Unique", looks like a Beretta) he used the Gibbs on cleaned up well enough and the slide works real smooth now. We are trying to figure out if the weird patterns on the metal of the gun are the result of neglect or daemascus(sp?) steel, because it sort of looks like that.

I used it on a revolver I had, it worked no better or worse than anything else I used in the past
