I just got a very nice Noveske upper.
I would like to use Frog Lube on it.
Are there any instructions on how to remove the original lubricant.
You are not suppose to mix oil and Frog Lube.

I use 90% rubbing alcohol. I've heard of people using non-chlorinated brake cleaner. Froglube also makes a degreaser, but its not cheap.
Call me crazy, but I don't put too much effort into cleaning old lube when I apply new lube. I've never had a gun choke because Lube-A came into contact with Lube-B.
I use my wifes "old" hair dryer...she wasn't too happy but got a new one, so all is well. I set the parts on a towel and heat them for a bit, turning them over until I can barely touch them. I then use the paste and brush on the lube, it melts quickly. I use the brush and get the lube everywhere I can, turning the parts to get every surface. I let it sit for an hour or so, reheat and apply some more. Come back after cool and wipe down. I use the liquid to lube friction points, and for cleaning.
Hair dryer is fine. Use one most of the time.
I recently applied frog lube to a new AR. Prior to doing so I cleaned it with KG-3 Solvent & Degreaser (http://www.kgcoatings.com/cleaning/k...and-degreaser/). I'm sure other products will work equally well, but I was pleased with how well this removed all of the lubrication applied by the factory.
