Watched a bunch of youtubes and online articles but figure I would ask the board members to.

 

My main questions is how do you guys clean the gun slide itself? I bought those pre-treated cloths and says wipe it down and it leaves a coat to prevent rust etc. I read some just wipe gun oil on it to prevent rust/moisture.

 

Right now I just did a full clean on it. Wiped the slide with CLP to remove the dirt and oil. Used the pre-treated cloth, let is sit for a few minutes and wiped it down with a microfiber to take out any residue. Not sure if that is the ideal way.

 

 

Any tips would be great.

 

Thanks

Are you talking about the exterior of the slide or inside the slide?

 

I am more concerned with cleaning and oiling the internals of the slide to make sure all the moving parts stay moving. Any excess oil on the exterior I just wipe with a rag.

Exterior of the slide. It will be mostly on my safe so want to make sure it does not develop rust.

 

Thanks

Old toothbrush. Dip in cleaning solution, tap off excess and scrub. Wipe clean with rag. Lubricate where necessary.
