I use to work on cars a lot. All brake cleaner leaves a residue if you let it pool. If you use brake parts cleaner, try to wipe off the excess before you let it dry. But I wouldn't hesitate using it (NON-CHLORINATED!!)Originally Posted by old grunt usmc

Frog Lube also has a stripper now - non-toxic and pour-down-the-drain just like the lube. And, of course, super effective.
I had the pleasure of being introduced to the Frog Lube family at SHOT through the good graces of Iraqgunz. I also had the pleasure of meeting Cpt Lasky's family - and Frog Lube truly is a family business.

I will probably get some of the stripper. It doesn't leave anything behind, does it? I know some strippers for firearms are designed to, just want to make sure this stuff won't.

I'd like to rub froglube on a stripper.

Lol, I just want to know if the stripper will leave any Frog Lube crap behind to "protect" my weapon, or if it is a true stripper.

Based on all the reviews, I picked some up a couple weeks ago...
Completely cleaned the bolt and carrier with rubbing alcohol, warmed up everything with a hair dryer, and used the supplied brush to baste everything with the paste. I didnt know how much to put on, so I went with a relatively light coating as this was the first time using it. After watching the paste "melt" on when applying, i had no doubt it would do the same when in use.
I put 200 rounds through it the next day with no problems. By the end of the day, the light coating, cold weather, and debris seemed to dry everything up but it still had a slight wet look to it. I took it home, generously recoated everything with the liquid and took it out this last weekend for another 150 rounds with no problems and this time it was still plenty wet.
Things I noticed:
-Worked well: stays put and warms up quickly, then returns to a semi solid state when it cools
-Dont be afraid to be generous when applying, the paste and liquid mix well together
-PLEASURE to work with as it smells great and washed off easily
-Parts wiped pretty clean afterward, but I will still probably detail clean it periodically
I like it, I'm very glad I gave it shot thanks to this thread!

I had similar results, except I noted that my AR felt more "gritty" than when I just lubed it with regular CLP. It also had more friction when cycling. The buffer-spring would not push the bolt closed and latch the handle anymore, when "babied" forward. With any other lube I have tried on the weapon, it would. I do have some joint pain and a cast iron skillet, though, so not all is lost, lol

Ran three hundred rounds through a new rifle today that was prepped with frog lube. I broke it down and cleaned it afterward. All components required only a quick wipe down and light lube. After fifteen minutes it appeared the weapon was never fired. Absolutely no functional issues and the wife had no odor complaints afterward (regarding the lube). Next week I'll run an additional thousand rounds through it and I'll post a report.
