I have tested it in my freezer and initially determined that it performs very well down to -10*F, thickening like a syrup, but still being quite liquid. One thing I did notice with it, however, is that it seemed to combine with condensation, and then it would indeed freeze solid. I discovered this by leaving it in the freezer for 24 hours or so (a few de-frost cycles) and noting that even around 0*F, it had frozen pretty firm, and was white instead of clear. My only thought is that it combined with the water/condensation to do so. I casually tried mixing it with water, and it wouldn't, very well, so this may indeed not be it, but it's all I can think of.
I drop the bolt and carrier in my ultrasonic, so that is pretty good for "stripping" oils and solvents. When I drop the clean bolt into the FireClean (which is in an old pill bottle just tall enough to submerge it) it comes out glistening----but not beading up. I suspend it over the bottle to let the excess run off and then wipe the carrier down with it and put 'er back together.

F**k China!
Anybody find a lowest price with shipping on the web? Maybe a group buy? I'd like to try it for the lowest price possible.
Well, i repeated my experiment. Maybe I just did not wait long enough. The FireClean after several hours at -10-0*F is frozen like old ice-cream and is white and opaque. It melts at touch.
It seems to dry up or soak in very fast . I keep applying it but its gone in a few days. How long should it stay wet if I put a good amount on?
According to Fireclean, it is absorbing into the pores of the finish on the metal.
As a reference point, I am performing an on-going corrosion test with FireClean on a bare nail. It is still apparently coating the surface of said nail after almost a month, albeit thinly, but thus-far effectively.
Just ordered some.
