Theoretically yes, but I clean with mpro7.
For how thick it is, compared to other oils, i havent tried using slip to clean. I use other solvents and then lube with slip. Alas, i am a newer user, but the consistency is thicker, could give a good wipeoff, but I dunno.
I know solvent is still cheaper then the slip. Haha.
Range report for EWL 30... when i applied it i thought it would run off for sure but after a few weeks it's still everywhere i put it on a PWS piston bcg.
As for EWL, it's not bad, and a little bit goes a long way, but as for longevity on a DI bcg I might give the slight nod to Mpro 7 LPX, as the EWL seemed to dry up more below the gas rings, whereas with LPX, it was still there.
I use Slip2000 exclusively.
If temps get below freezing in my AO, the rest of you will be dead.
Why do the loudest do the least?
I agree 100% with everything you said. EWL is a phenomenal lubricant which I use all of the time. From my personal experience MPRO7 LPX seems to stay wet the longest, but what I like about MPRO7 LPX the most is the fact that's it loaded with a large amount of PTFE and molybdenum. So even if the LPX does burn off or dry out eventually, the PTFE (Teflon) and molybdenum are still present providing excellent lubrication. MPRO7 LPX isn't transparent like other gun lubricants, it's very cloudy, and that's because of the large amounts of additives (like PTFE and molybdenum) that it contains. MPRO7 LPX also has another advantage - cost. You can usually find a 4 ounce bottle of it at Walmart or Amazon for $9.99. Whether you chose Slip2000 EWL or MPRO7 LPX you can't go wrong either way. Both have an excellent reputation and have proven themselves for years in the military and civilian world.

I have used Slip2000 EWL for years without issue. Never really experimented with any other lubrication because there really isn't a need to, the stuff just works.
Just hit 500 rounds since using slip.
In reply to myself, for my Adams Arms piston gun, it has a great wipe off ability. After using the rifle, I wipe down the parts, use solvent very rarely because most just clean right up, and my normal bore flush. If I thought this rifle was easy to clean before, boy did Slip2k make it that much better.
I will build tenure with slip, work through my other lubes on "Non-Vital" arms. But since buying my first bottle, my CCW, my primary "Combat 9", and my primary AR are lubed with the stuff. The reliability is epic so far.
