I have been away from shooting for a while but am back into it again. Does anyone have a favorite product for general cleaning (barrel, etc) which is quick and easy to use? Thanks for any suggestions.

Would also like to know about a lube product which doesn't attract a lot of dirt, dust etc.
 
I have three non-toxic CLP favorites right now and can't say which one I like best so I keep them all around: Ballistol - the original CLP and Frog Lube and Gunzilla. These are all great non-toxic products that work

No such thing. None "attract" dirt/dust, but all will trap it, if it comes in contact with it. That is the nature of all "wet" lube products. It you want lubrication without sticking to dirt with which it comes into contact, you must use one of the dry/drying products like "Dri-slide".
 
I'm a fan of Gunzilla. As for a dry lube, I have heard
that Militec has a product that goes on wet then the
carrier evaporates, leaving a dry part on the metal.
 
Quick and easy is a no brainer CLP it cleans and lubes all in one . I use Hoppe's #9 for the bore and any other high carbon area . Then clean everything else with CLP. Then depending on what firearm it is I will use anything from CLP , Frog lube or Slip 2000 EWL 30 to lube moving parts .
 
anything from frog lube is amazing. they make a really good kit for like 30 bucks thats a clp and a paste lube. after trying so many different products i exclusively use there stuff after trying it once.
 
Hoppe's #9 for the bore. Switching over to Shooter's Choice and/or Hoppe's (Elite?) bore foam stuff when I run out.

I use Eezox on the entire gun. Then I use TetraGrease on everything that slides or on the locking lugs on my 1911s. Eezox is one of, if not, THE best corrosion preventatives and is an excellent lubricant. It also resists fingerprints, dust, dirt, etc. You use both products sparingly.
 
Hoppe's #9

I use so much of the stuff I never wear rubber gloves anymore; the stuff is in my system now and helping me live longer!
 
"Eezox is one of, if not, THE best corrosion preventatives"

Testing has demonstrated it is the best at preventing corrosion/rust.
 
And you're ALWAYS going to have someone state their "tests" have proven 'X' product is best.

That's why I was careful with the wording of my statement.
 
I keep my mind open, but from what I have seen Eezox is the best. I don't use it, but what other product will provide better rust prevention? I would like to know. I have not seen it. I live in the desert so rust is less of a consideration.
 
Here's another vote for Wipe-Out and Patch-Out. Not only are they odor free as they don't contain ammonia, it is safe to leave these two products in the barrel overnight. Just spray or swab it in the barrel, leave it overnight, then patch it out the next day. No more scrubbing with brushes, no odor.
