    I have been using automatic transmission fluid for all my gun lube applications for years. I have seen no reason to upgrade.

    ATF is a fine CLP.

    I'm surprised about FrogLube. I finally got around to opening a jar I bought last year and it worked better then the Slip2000 products I have been using, at least cleaning my suppressor. I went ahead and cleaned and followed FrogLubes directions on the first application on a couple more guns to see how I like it. Do you guys really not mix it with other products or is that just FL's way of saying to only buy their product?

    Non-toxicity (bio-lube) and eased carbon cleaning are the 2 new features that set the newer products apart from older ones. In that category, fireclean and randclp fit the bill.

    I use RAND.

    Primarily because it's odorless and non-toxic.

    It helps that it stays wet...and helps with easier cleaning.
    No...I'm not crazy - and neither AM I !! Next question!!

    Gun owners overthink? Never happened that I'm aware of but if you say so.

    Regarding the lube choices, not so sure it's about being better than the next guy so much as it's about wanting a potentially better product should it exist. If there's a market someone will sell in it.

    Current marketing technique puts large companies at the top, you never know what the hell works or not though. This is why I asked for personal experience and for brands that I may not have heard of that others use. I'd never heard of WeaponShield for example. Living in the country kind of takes me out of the loop. The LGS is very small with very limited shelf space. Most of what's on the poll list is what he keeps on the shelf. I figure by the end of the poll I'll have somewhat of a consensus of what works best. Right now that looks like Slip 2000 and Fire Clean. Even though it's not on the list, WeaponShield has been mentioned enough times for me to take a look.

    This stuff seems to be more of a long-term preservative/protectant, but I've heard of some guys using it as a CLP:
