Wipe-Out experience?

[LoneGoose]

I get some carbon build-up in the chambers when shooting some of my handloads through a couple of my revolvers. It takes some effort to get it all out, and I have been looking for something to make the job easier. I heard about Wipe-Out, and got a can of it. I shot a revolver and an autoloader yesterday, and tried the Wipe-Out on them last night. I applied it and let it soak for the recommended hour and cleaned the guns up. I have to say, the residue from that stuff feels weird to the touch and gives me some concern. Can anyone give me their knowledge and experience with this product? Do you clean the excess off of the exterior surfaces, just apply oil over it, or just wipe it dry and put it away?

Thanks for any help. THR rocks.

The easiest way I know of is a bronze bore brush & solvent, chucked in a cordless drill.

Takes all of 5 seconds per chamber to clean them spotless.

I use Wipe out and the accelerator that comes with it. let it stand for as long as possible. i just patch it out of the bore and or cylinders, it eats all types of fouling quickly. it takes multiple patches. I just wiped the gun down and apply a light coat of rem oil followed by a wipe down with a rig rag coated with RIG universal grease.

any solvent will work as RC says with a good bore brush and a drill also.

Yeah, bore brush in a drill and solvent is the way I do it now. but it takes quite a bit of effort to get all of the carbon out sometimes.

I didn't get any accelerator. I'll have to look it up.

Thanks, guys.

I use Wipe Out on everything. I fill the chamber/barrel full of foam and return to it the next day. When shooting copper the patches come out blue/purple. When shooting lead them come up black to gray. Love the stuff. After patching, I coat suffices with rem oil.

As a matter of interest, I used a section of old cleaning rod, the end threaded for a bore brush. I chuck this in my drill press for stubborn cleaning. The extra length keeps the chuck a safter, to me, distance from the cylinder.
