At one time or another...I've tried every gun lube/corrosion preventer/cleaner on the market...and I've never seen anything like this stuff.

It stands up under even the harshest conditions...won't wash off in rain or snow...heck, you can't even wipe it off. It works even better than CLP...

I stumbled across it via the Case and John Deere combines I haul, it is supplied with them for chain lube (combine drive chains...now thats a harsh environment), and there is always a can or so left in the combines when I pick them back up and one day I needed to free up some of my ratchet binders...this chain lube was all I had handy and it worked wonders...never seen anything free up a stuck binder like that...never.

When I sprayed it on there the fluid started bubbling (that was kinda weird), and in a few seconds that binder, that was almost completely locked up, was as slick as snot on a door knob. This stuff is "SLICK"....

After the great success with the binders not rusting after months of being out in the elements I got curious and decided to try it on my pistol. Its a Glock 36 and doesn't require much lube anyway but it does get treated pretty harsh...buried, dunked in the creek, will soon be in the salt and snow...just plain abused I tell you :D I cleaned the Glock and put a drop of lube here and there where lube is supposed to be on a Glock pistol then sprayed the slide and wiped off the excess. That was about 2 months ago...

Last time I was home my Glock fired about 450 rounds...300 of them at a pretty high rate of speed...then gun got hot...the lube stayed on, and its still on there. Its almost, but not quite, too slick to put on the slide (MAKE SURE you wipe off the excess...otherwise your gun will be too slick to get a grip on the slide)...after 2 months, being shot 450 rounds, buried for 2 days, and dunked in a creek...the slide still has that coating on it. Its not an oily, gooey coating...it doesn't come off on your hands or clothes, its not even visible (as in shiny or whatever)...but its there.

I just cleaned my Glock, sitting here at the Pilot truck stop in Ft. Worth, TX and used the lube to clean the barrel...sprayed it down the bore, let it sit for about 5 minutes, then pushed a piece of paper towel down the bore with a disassembled ink pen tube...then a dry patch...the bore was slick and shiny. It cleaned all the powder residue in one pass...

Watch this video...what the man says is true, I've seen it, used it, and I like it...I'm not advertising for this guy...but I know many of you have trouble with guns rusting, especially some of you in the Northwest...I myself would be willing to bet a weeks pay that even a bare metal gun wouldn't rust coated with this stuff.

No other cleaner/lube/protectant even comes close...NONE!


To explain why my Glock was buried for 2 days...

No guns allowed on military bases...at least not if you're a civilian. (some will check my gun at the gate, others won't...this particular facility would not)
I picked up a load of Humvees at a military base and couldn't check the gun at the gate...so I had to stash it...it was well hidden and I hid it at night...I don't like doing that, but sometimes I have no choice...its either that or don't carry it, and we know the answer to that don't we.

I dunked it in the creek to rinse the dirt out of it after I dug it up...

Why 2 days? Its the government...the load was delayed.

Interesting, I think I'll track some down. Any idea what kind of solvent would work to clean it off of the slide if you got too much on it?

I'd say about any solvent would do it...even CLP or WD-40 or CLP Powder Blast.

But if you spray it on, then wipe it off good...it shouldn't be a problem. (just don't let a thick coat sit on it)


I use the Powder Blast to get the goo off my guns... http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/StaffordUniform1/-strse-958/CLP-Powder-Blast-Aerosol/Detail.bok ...its best to use it ONLY on metal, it will melt some plastics (fiber optic sights), and clean the paint off sights with dots painted on.

The major ingredient in Fluid-Film is lanolin, aka sheep's wool oil. The product was originally developed decades ago to prevent corrosion in maritime salt water applications. At that time it could only be bought in 55 gallon drums. Fluid-Film is the best product I’ve ever found for long term storage and to prevent corrosion on firearms in the field. IMHO there’s nothing better for use in firearms that shoot black powder. Black powder and Fluid-Film is a match made in heaven. Fluid-Film’s only “weakness” is it’s not the best lubricant for use in sub-zero temps. It will stiffen up and begin to freeze at -10F, or so.
