I use hoppe's 9 my whole life,an now also use hoppe's 9 copper remover, for copper removal on my rifles, works great no harm on barrel, what you have on the table is pretty much my cleaning agents Thanks
I thought this was going to be a head-to-head test. You told me stuff I already knew. I wanted to see them work. You should have compared the two not gave us your opinion!
Great video. Thank you. This is the type of content that really helps "Fast Track"-meaning less time and money wasted on finding the products that are the most effective and cost effective. I was told by an older gentleman that Glock recommends Hoppes as a cleaning agent and Rem oil. That was probably correct back in the 80`s when Glock first really was the pioneer & standard. Since then, many more products have come to market & the quality of "The New Stuff" simply was not available. I am really careful, as some of the new stuff is just plain expensive and the results are just not there. It is the same way with anything. Look how we are treating our car engines etc. Take care-God bless.
It doesn't matter which product you use, whichever floats your boat. What is important is to clean it. I find Ed's Red to work just as good as anyone's CLP and one can mix that up by the gallon. Thanks for the vid.
IMO...CLP just does it all. The Army uses it for lubrication on snipers, carbines, machine guns, and heavies. It prevents rust, it cleans, and it lubes.
mil spec doesn't mean anything. contracting officers purchase the cheapest junk that satisfies the minimum specs and sow. not saying it's junk, just don't automatically assume it's good because the military uses it.
@@b.lane0309 I didn't say "mil spec" I was talking about personal experience based on the fact that I was in the US Army for 12 years, went through two different armorers courses, and know how well CLP performs definitely in austere conditions. I've yet to see anything that works as well in the pissing rain, pouring snow, or literally in sand storms and I used just about everything here in both Iraq and Afghanistan. CLP simply out performs most.
We used Break Free CLP in the Marines. Now I notice there's CLP5, CLP7, and CLP16. I cant find anywhere what the differences are... do you know? Anyone? TIA
I've had better luck with Hoppe's 9 black solvent... No one ever seems to talk about it but in my experience it completely overshadows the classic for sheer carbon-cracking power
CLP for quick field use. Hoppes when you put the gun away. CLP is great for stainless revolver cylinder if you keep it loaded. Let it dry 24 hours first
If you want deep cleaning invest in a ultrasonic cleaner, I hunt a lot and live in the south and corrosion is a big thing here. The ultrasonic cleaner is the best thing I've ever purchased. All my firearms always look new.
My local gun store retailer told me to use the “Hoppes No. 9 boreSnake CLP All - In - One” 2 fl oz. bottle.. how good is that compared to the Break Free CLP? I have a new Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 9mm compact (4” barrel)
I don’t believe in combo products . Like wash~n~wax for my automotive finish . You wash the thing , then you wax it . Or like shampoo and conditioner in one . How can you get your hair clean with conditioner getting in the way of the shampoo or get a good conditioning when the shampoo is getting in the way . It just makes no sense . I wanna clean my guns and then condition them . No classic car ever won a car show using wash~n~wax . I’ll stick with Hoppes #9 solvent which will clean better and follow up with Hoppes oil which will protect better . Cutting corners just doesn’t cut it .
The high powered solvents should only be used into a sink or bucket. Its all in the prep. Plus it will get all that gunk out of the places you can only get by disassembling your gun and who is going to do that?
You can make your own Hoppe's #9 by mixing a little alcohol and turpentine, in a nutshell that's all it is. If you want it to smell good add a dash of your favorite cologne.
I had the same issue with gunzilla clp. Great product if you shoot a lot. But it’s organic (basically vegetable oil) and will breakdown within a month. I’d grab hunting guns out for the season that have been in the safe and they were locked up with orange goop. Went back to hoppes 9 (petroleum based) and they were good to go the next season
@@NorthwestMariner I'm just seeing this now. I live in Florida but the guns are always stored under AC. Maybe it was a bad batch. Thanks for the reply.
I'm new to this ,,,, what do you advise me ??? a CLP (Break free?) and a solvent and apart a lubricator ,,,,,,,, what brand do you recommend for my new ar15?
Do the Break Free bore foam, it has a tube and will shoot the foam all the way down the barrel just plug the end up with a patch and let it soak for 15 minutes, give it a little scrub and clean as a whistle. Usually repeat but run patches thru the second time then what ever oil you use.
Break Free Power Blast to deep clean hard to get areas and Break Free Bore Cleaning Foam for the barrel. Can't stand the orange Hoppe's oil since it makes a mess when not in use, very poor design. But dozens of other lubricants will do the job.
@David Brown Polymer is used to both transport and store caustic chemicals (typically in 55 gallon drums). Gun solvent will cause no harm on a polymer frame.
those bronze or copper wires in the bore snakes are garbage. I got 2 bore snakes in the matching calibre and both got stuck in the barrel and when i finally got them out i cut the metal part off
I once took a course in conversational German. I might try to say "Hopp-eh". "Hops" is for brewing beer. Confusing? In Poland, Poles might not appreciate being called "Pol-ehs", so forget the last "e". Polish is extremely difficult, even for natives. They also have trouble following all their own rules, very complicated, because Poles have an advanced language and vocabulary to deal with. Their full dictionary is immensely heavy. Poland had to learn how to negotiate with all their warring neighbors, to use diplomacy instead of cannons. It did work. Back then. Don't try this with Chinese Reds, because nothing will work, except for a well-developed, military-grade virus-war, or use Vitamin B-52, where Rx doses can be air-mailed directly. But that means the US and the West will be defeated, eventually. We are SO sensitive to criticism. So, pray for Uncle Joe and his office-sweetheart/diktator to minimize the damage they WILL create. Say..."Crate-eh"...on and on...this is FUN, eh? Works in Canada, too.
I have used both Hoppes and Breakfree to clean and lube firearms. Both have their applications and work well. However, both seem to be somewhat toxic and irritate my skin and sinuses. I only use Ballistol for as my CLP. Works great and the firearm becomes quicker and easier to clean after multiple cleanings. ballistol.com/

Thanks so much for not only telling us what you use...but most importantly..WHY you use it! And when you use it!
Hoppes 9 solvent and Rem Oil for me. This has worked great for 40 years.
Thanx for a informative vid ..... Much appreciate your time doing it .....

@@NorthwestMariner Hey man, thank you for your service
@@NorthwestMariner Thank you for your service 🇺🇸
@@NorthwestMariner heck yeah, set him straight.
We used Break Free CLP in the Marines. Now I notice there's CLP5, CLP7, and CLP16. I cant find anywhere what the differences are... do you know? Anyone? TIA
From what I can find it involves sizes or aerosol vs liquid. The gallon is #7.
I've had better luck with Hoppe's 9 black solvent... No one ever seems to talk about it but in my experience it completely overshadows the classic for sheer carbon-cracking power
I've never even heard about Hoppes 9 black. Do you know what's different about it from the regular #9? Do you like the black better?
The big thing I hate about the Hoppe kit is it isnt very resealable. Plus the bottles leaked in mine.

I got a bore snake I use on my glock barrel works great it makes the barrel shiny

I was using CLP in 1981 in the army then we switched to RBC
Maybe RBC offered someone in purchasing a bigger kickback. (Just kidding.)
I love Gun Scrubber, been using it for years..
Is that a 32 ounce bottle of hoppes??? Thanks!!!
Hoppes burns up on my ak and ar clp is good stuff keeps powder buildup wet doesn't smoke like most gun oil

Robby Ritter That’s false it’s mostly mineral oil. There’s readily available information about that
do you plan to get any guns with black plastic stocks anytime soon
Question: I use Breakfree CLP. When I check the gun months later, the CLP has darkened and seems to be little thicker. Is it breaking down?
Ive seen units literally use tubs of CLP for a year or more so you might have an issue with temp
I had the same issue with gunzilla clp. Great product if you shoot a lot. But it’s organic (basically vegetable oil) and will breakdown within a month. I’d grab hunting guns out for the season that have been in the safe and they were locked up with orange goop. Went back to hoppes 9 (petroleum based) and they were good to go the next season

Is Hoppes #9 ok to use on polymer frame handgun lowers?
@David Brown
Polymer is used to both transport and store caustic chemicals (typically in 55 gallon drums). Gun solvent will cause no harm on a polymer frame.
Good question. I just use Ballistol on all my firearms. Never had a problem with Ballistol on my Glock and XD pistols.

There's nothing like penetrating oil...
Jajajajajaja el título esperanzas vs descansos
Hoppes smells nasty. Two days of hand washing to get the stink out. Gun safe reeks now to.
Zzzzzzzzz🥱😴
those bronze or copper wires in the bore snakes are garbage. I got 2 bore snakes in the matching calibre and both got stuck in the barrel and when i finally got them out i cut the metal part off
I use m pro 7 I have a gallon should b good for a awhile
Nobody is m pro 7 cleaner good to go on polymer?
I refuse to believe that's how hoppes(hops) is pronounced
That is how it pronounced, right from Hoppes themselves. Hops are for rabbits and beer.
