I have tried Breakfree, and G96, and a few other CLP products over the last ten years or so, but never really was satisfied that I could depend on a CLP to really clean, lube and protect. I was brought up on Hoppes solvent and oil for cleaning and lube of my Rem 550-1 when I was 15. Stuck with Hoppes for a long time, and I still find the solvent works pretty good. For lube I have been using SLIP 2000 EWL (lube) and EWG (grease) for several years. I have tried MPro 7 and some of the SLIP 2000 bore cleaner, but mostly I still use Hoppes #9 for cleaning. Using the EWL has made cleaning after the range must faster, nothing really caked on the guns even after a lot of shooting, and even with semi-auto .22 rim fires. The EWG is great on slides and such parts that slide or rub. They also make a EWL 30 that I find works really good on critical wear points on bcg’s. A wet patch of EWL through the bore before you put the gun up, insures much easier bore cleaning later on, and it only takes a moment to run a dry patch prior to heading to the range if desired.
I have also been quite pleased with Mobil 1 synthetic and lubriplate. Found Rem Oil to be pretty poor and Hoppes gun grease is to be avoided (dries and cakes).
