FIREclean sounds real nice, but that stuff is crazy expensive. I may just have to try it out eventually.

It seems crazy expensive, but you end up using so little to get the job done that it works out in the end. I literally use about 6 drops before each outing. Carbon and other shit just wipes off after a shooting session, then I lube again. This is definitely lube you don't need to have dripping off your rifle.
Its not much more than Seal 1, and as AKDoug said, you use less and it makes everything run super smooth, like all the parts have been polished

Yeah, I was confused by it too. Btw, used the paste- not sure if that was the problem. Applied with fingertip, seemed the same as other times, but maybe on too thick? Either way, after pulling my rifle apart twice at the bench to see what the problem was, I got fed up and wiped it off. Is the liquid better?
I have not used the paste...so that could be it. You really do only need a light coating.
I had corrosion issues with froglube premium, and seal 1 tests about identical in my testing, so I use neither. Scott Lee is the brains behind all of those products out of his company.
I am using both and have had great results. I will continue to use them. When I run out, then I will look for the best price on either one.

The SEAL 1 booth at SHOT Show had a Sig that was kept in a small tank of water. It was lubed up with SEAL 1 obviously and even with all that water, it hand cycled very smoothly. I forgot how long the guy said that particular pistol had been tanked, but it was for quite a while (many many weeks). I don't know if I believe it, but from what felt, it seemed to work well.
Location: Fayetteville, AR to Shreveport, LA
Timeframe: 72 hours
Products used: MK318 SOST, Noveske N4, Surefire FA556-212, Froglube Paste premium and CLP premium, Microfiber cloth.
I fired roughly 120 rounds during about an hour at the range in humid environ under shelter. Then I travelled to a friend's house, broke the weapon down, and wiped the previously very generously lubed BCG off component by component with the microfiber.
A light sheen remained on parts, they looked wet/dark. I then placed the rifle back in a sip-up case, and transported it to another friend's house where I took it out, placed it leaning in a closet, and went to bed. The next day it went back into the zip-case and travelled home with me. I took it inside upon arriving, and placed it in the closet. That night (I am awake nights, not days, normally), I broke it down for a full cleaning.
It was then that I observed multiple orange freckles on the bolt-tail, which upon being wiped with FL and a microfiber remained as dark discolorations upon the shiny tail of the bolt.
I discontinued use of the Froglube and had no further issues with the rifle even with MUCH harsher treatment. I refuse to use Froglube given my above experience, as there are better products on the market all-around. I currently use MPro7-LPX and it has performed admirably in 1500+ round torture tests (VTAC course, 0 rifle-related failures over 3 days with no lube or cleaning after initial shot fired.), and leaving the rifle uncleaned for weeks. Great product.
