Gunslick Foaming Bore cleaner has always done the trick for me.
Spray it in, let it set for 30 minutes, brush out, followed by patches.
I don't do this very often though, maybe ever 1000 rounds.

Search results. there is a bunch more.
Personally I do not use them. But everyone has their own methods as to what works. I have used M-pro foaming CLP and did not really like it much, it was the only M-pro product I was not happy with. I really like JB non embedding bore cleaner and JB bore-brite every 1000 rounds.
I have shooters choice foaming bore cleaner that has always done a great job. Haven't tried anything else though in terms of foaming bore cleaner.
I use Breakfree Foam Bore Cleaner about every 500 rounds and Ballistol about every 100 rounds in between. Ripcord through the bore before leaving the range every time while the barrel is still warm.
Switched to brake cleaner sprayed through barrel.
Gun slick is great; use that followed by a bore snake, then a patch soaked in Slip 2000 EWL.
I've always had good luck with it
Not sure about other cleaners but I know that Gunslick does not recommend use of its foaming bore cleaner in DI weapons. If the gas tubes are not cleaned out, the foam can gum up and form a gel in the tube.
I've found it works out fine, though, if you use compressed air to blow out the tube.
What are ya'll trying to accomplish by cleaning the bore?
Unless I get sand or dirt in it, I never try to clean any bore unless it's lost accuracy (which is extremely rare).
