Is this really necessary? I've got some of each from christmas but the instructions look annoying as hell.
Can I just shoot and clean with one of the products or do I need to do the magic voodoo process before hand, then shoot, then repeat?

Everything I've seen said yes, you must do the voodoo.
With Froglube I have seen it gum up either way.
With Fireclean I have not. I have two that have had it applied on top of slip 2000 and sat for 2 years with no issues yet so I don't feel it is as necessary.

I have some Frog Lube I picked up to test on one of my school carbines. After I read the instructions, I decided I would stick with what I was using. I am trying to give it away locally.
After the recent marathon thread on Fire Clean I have decided to add it to my next Brownell's or MidwayUSA order and give it a try.
When stripping storage grease and foreign debris from imported weapons I use mineral spirits.
For those of us not in the know, can you post what the instructions are? I recall it being odd but I never heard the specifics.
I've never had any desire to try anything that was anything beyond a simple application.
I will gladly take any frog lube u guys wanna give away =)
I don't have much desire either. Was a gift that I'd actually considered thoughtful, been laying around in the gun room for awhile.
As far as instructions, essentially- you've got to thoroughly degrease all parts then apply, and then apply heat to the metal w/ heat gun or blow dryer for best results...maybe not so for fireclean but def recall reading that on the froglube bottle. I might be missing something too, perhaps a user of one of the products will chime in and add more info or correct me.
Not the end of the world but for a product I'm not dying to use def kind of a PITA.
Major PITA to degrease my AKs though as they all have acetone based Russian or Bulgarian finishes.
