Spray Cleaner comparisons - ingredients

I can

big can is $9.95 at cabelas and it didnt melt my pm9 or my glock!

buy 4 cans of 3M high pressure cleaner for $9.95. If one googles up the ingredients in both of these cleaners, I think they will find they are identical except Gun Scrubber puts some sweet smelly stuff in it to make u like it more. I have never criticised gun scrubber. It does what it says, just IMO they are ripping us off at $10 a pop. Each to his own. really makes no difference to me what one uses to service his guns, as long as he services his guns, that is the main topic IMO. I try to relate what I have used over the past 3 years with great success and no damage to the product being used on, and if the price was the same I would probably buy Gun Scrubber, just because it is sporting related and we need to support those who put products out on the market for us shooters,,, to a certain extent anyway.

I'm going to try to find some 99% isopropyl alcohol locally and use it in a spray bottle. 99% is available as a cleaning agent from some industrial supply stores. It's expensive to ship since it's considered a hazmat.

You can buy 99% at most drug stores. I even bought a couple of bottles last month at a Meijer store.

I wasn't too worried about the 3-M stuff until I got to the benzene. The rest of the stuff is pretty much light end hydrocarbons. You sure don't want to breathe a lot of that stuff and it will strip the oil right off your hands and your gun parts. I saw a segment on "Cowboys" where the guy said he cleans his guns with a mix of Mean Green and water. He blows the down with WD-40 when he is through. I don't know how well it works, but it is safe.

If you have not tried it, I would recommend GUNZILLA Link. I use it for all of my firearms, even my issued M4. I find that it really works well as a clp.

Plus it is supposedly green friendly and non-toxic. This is a huge plus considering I have young kids at home.

Be Safe

Gunzilla does seem to work good. We were sent several bottles of the stuff to try out when it first came out. The only downfall to me was it smells awful. Horrible. Taste wasn't bad but I only got a few drops of spray during the application. Sort of a collateral taste bud test.

always put on rubber gloves when cleaning my guns, any cleaner should clean down to the bar metal if it is worth it's salt. 3M will certainly clean down to the bar metal, which is what I want it to do. As far as the benzene, I clean my guns in a well ventilated area also. I think that is why some of the gun cleaners put some sweet smelley stuff in the mixture...
