I know this may be better off in gear and accessories... but I think it fits here too.
What CLEANS all the carbon and other build up from shooting on any of your firearms better than anything else you've ever used?
I haven't used a wide variety myself. I found Slip 2000 EWL a while back and started using it as a CLP. I think it's a fantastic lube, and I like the idea that the metal on any firearm I clean it with is always cleaned with the same lube over and over, and that maybe it has a bit of a seasoning effect (I don't know).
When it comes right down to it, I feel like it takes a fair amount of elbow grease with brushes, picks, and qtips to break free any built up carbon. I also wonder how it's doing inside of the barrels that I'm cleaning.
I'm not a fan of stripping all the metal of any lubricant with a harsh cleaner to remove the built up carbon, but it might save more time and effort to use a really good cleaner that actually breaks up and dissolves carbon the way most of these people advertise. Then re lube after.
