I like M-Pro7, but it's nearly the same thing at Hoppes Elite. Or should I say Hoppe's Elite is similar to M-Pro7 - which was developed for cleaning jets, helicopters and chain guns.
"Hoppes Elite, based on technology from Pantheon Chemical, is the most modern gun cleaning system available. Based on the same technology as M-Pro 7 brand gun cleaners, Hoppes Elite has been specially forumulated for the sportsman, competitive shooter, and all around shooter, with stronger carbon cleaning capability and special grease and oil solvents, while M-Pro 7 has been specially formulated for the extreme outdoorsman, military and extreme police applications, and those needing more conditioning and corrosion protection, in addition to extreme cleaning capability. Hoppes Elite and M-Pro 7 are two side of the same coin, using the same base technology."
Now this is a topic I know alot about. When I started high school in 62 and started shaving my folks didn't buy me aftershave because it might attract the girls and go on to other things. English Leather, Aqua Velva and Brute were the ones that worked along with a sense of humor. But my friends dad who had been divorced and hit the bars always kept a bottle of Hoppes No 9 in his medicine cabinet. And I would watch him just put a bit under each ear and it drove the gals crazy when he would visit the local bar called Aunt Myrtle's Suds. He was always picking up a different gal and they always commented to him how good he smelled and how good it made them feel. In other words he got lucky! Well, I remembered that and to this day it has always worked for me and everytime I clean a gun which is as often as I can I get lucky also after being married 40 years. So, I really think there are far more females that come to their knees when they smell No. 9 than those that don't. That is my personal observation!
