    Seal 1
    Rand CLP
    Ballistol

    Those are product alternatives, IMO.

    Ok then, how does Ballistol compare to the other 2 being discussed?

    Fireclean does indeed live up to its claims. So does Froglube. I find both to be basically identical, except that one smells minty fresh. The solution I have come up with is to simply use both. I use the Froglube paste on anything that needs to be stored for a long time, and I use Fireclean on anything that I plan to use immediately. A word of caution, however; Fireclean, being an oil, WILL run out of the gun eventually, especially if it's hot outside. There's no way around it.

    Do you mean flow out or evaporate?

    Evaporate would be the better term. After a while in my car, I'll notice that the liquid itself isn't there anymore, but there's definitely an oily residue left.

    I use FC on muzzle devices, stored muzzle up in racks. Still wet months later.

    *scratches head* Am I doing something wrong then? I can't see how I'm doing anything different. Just wipe it on with a brush, leave it in my car when its hot, or just leave it for a week or so in my room, and the stuff is definitely not there anymore.

    Sorry if I came across brashly, was in the middle of a long road trip (playing navigator).

    I think we may be at odds due to perception of "wet", or possibly due to your gun's finish.

    Let me start anew:
    On degreased finishes that are work-worn, after applying a generous (but not dripping) coat with a fingertip, there will still be a visually and physically identifiable "wetness" to the surface even after months of storage.

    What is the surface that you are applying to?

    After reading this thread and outside research, I bought a bottle of FC today. I plan to put it to use this weekend. I'll post a short follow up with my results.

    I've applied it to my handguns, on every surface I can see. They have been cleaned and de-greased. On every handgun I've applied this stuff too, after 2-3 weeks, there will be a really odd smell coming from the gun, along with a physically dry surface. There will be some sort of residual film left on the gun, but it's definitely not "wet" in any way. More like a dry film.

    Are there different variations of FC, i.e., oil and grease?

    Or, is there only one FC?
