No one favorite.
Synthetic green marine grease for high stress, like barrel locking lugs.
TW25b for sliding medium stress like slide/frame rails, base pins.
Break Free CLP for general light oil.
 
Oil
Mil-Pro
If I want to re-oil at the range Rem Oil.
Grease
Lubriplate SLF-0 white
$16 for a 15oz tub, one tub lasts a long time......

Edit: Left out Tri Flow, it comes in handy for some things.

This thread got me off on a tangent researching the corrosion preventing properties of Mobil 1 synthetic, which led me to a very old THR thread about the topic and the discovery of a product I've never heard of before today--CorrosionX-- which is said by the people that have used it to be extremely effective at preventing corrosion and removing existing corrosion in certain instances. Needless to say I have a can inbound now to see what it's all about.

Corrosion X is an AWESOME product.
I used to do high end restoration metal work on Muscle Cars and Hot Rods. I also collect and restore old auto body tools and will polish the working faces to a shine one could shave in. Anyways, I coat the tools with Corrosion X to protect them. IMO, one would have to look pretty darn hard to find something better.
A couple of metal dollies that I sandblasted and polished.

There is what a polished surface looks like with Corrosion X applied, notice the bottle in the background. 34808176725_cb4740aa47_c.jpg
 
I'll have to try some of that.

I have not used my body work tools for 30+ years, but my dollies and hammer were bone stock, those dollies could blind you. :D
 
I use Mobil 1 5w30 for lubrication, Break Free CLP and Hoppes #9 for bore cleaning.
 
oil = MOBIL 5w30
grease = MOBILE red bearing grease
blackpowder = Ballistol

I clean with Ballistol, hoppes #9 and Kroil
 
Are there any national chain stores that carry Ballistol? Always seemed like a specialty product that had to be mail ordered around here.

I got a sample packet from a gun show years ago, but that's the only time I've seen it in person.

And they found they had to run their weapons dry in the Russian winter. I live in WI, which has similar weather. Hence the powdered graphite in my lube stash.



You were taught by the best. I had a bunch of REMF's that I had a hard time getting to even use BreakFreeCLP, (in the right places) especially after we got the steam cleaner.

<paraphrasing LTC Kilgore;> That smell, the Hoppe's smell, the whole gun room-it smelled like clean guns!</prarphrasing LTC Kilgore>

MPro 7 does work well, but I'd miss the aroma of Hoppe's #9. ;)

Mobil 1 EP for internal lubrication; I’ve yet to find anything that works better or stays wet longer, and it nicely prevents powder residue from accreting. Rem-Oil for periodic surface shining/protection of blued and parkerized guns. Boeshield T-9 or the other corrosion protectant from Lear Chemical (whatever it’s called) for long-term corrosion protection if a gun isn’t going to be used for a while.
 
For lube: Mobil 1, Super Lube Synthetic Multi-Purpose Oil, Lubriplate SFL-0 grease.
For cleaning: Kroil
For protectant: G96 Complete Gun Treatment.
For handy stuff on metals, wood and leather: Ballistol.
