cleaning stainless steel pistols

[Combat Auto 174]

Folks, For those of you running all steel pistols - what is best way to clean carbon and what not off of and condition the steel outside of the pistol?

Thanks,

-Joe

I just wipe it off with a patch and solvent..

Flitz works great for taking stubborn carbon off STAINLESS pistols ( do not use on blued guns!)

He has the kimber team 2 so it is blasted where the finish is satin, the polish will be a pain to clean off it will get caught on the satin finish..

I use a toothbrush and my favorite solvent, Sometimes just a rag and solvent.

I'm sold on the Mil-Comm stuff that's advertised on Gun For Hire Radio. That stuff is awesome, and does a great job getting the gunk off of everything.

Hoppes and a scrubby

Wife uses those lead remover rags - cuts little patches and uses them everywhere. Works really well and doesn't hurt anything. Use on stainless ONLY.

Every firearm I own gets a good scrubbing and a heavy coating of Slip2000 the day it comes home and I let it cure for as long as possible (even a week or more) before wiping it off. Nothing sticks to it. After shooting, I just dab some Slip2000 on a shotgun patch and wipe everything clean.

I have not needed to use a solvent since I started using Slip2000. Even the boltface wipes clean.
