    Gun Cleaner?

    Hey guys!

    I see where members have posted " Go to Napa and look for 3M high pressure NON-CHLORINATED brake cleaner. Part #08880, sells for about $2 a can". Well, my Napa store sells this Brake cleaner for $4.00 now. Looks like I missed out on the "sale."
    I found this at Walmart today "Super Tech" Brake Parts Cleaner. NON- Chloninated. Part # WM 2417 Cost me $2.78 for a 14.5oz can Its a brand name made for Walmart only.. Im no engineer, but the contents in the can are: Methanol 67-56-1, Toluene 108-88-3, Acetone 67-64-1 and Carbon Dioxide 124-38-9.. SO lol, will any of this hurt my new polymer Kahr 380? or am I good to go?
    I appreciate the help guys! Ill be off to the range tomorrow to break in my new baby. Thanks for the sticky on the "Proper Breaking in Techniques!"

    That's all I've used and it gets the job done. Doesn't hurt anything and the ingredients are pretty much the same.

      thats stuff is just as good, many use that also. alot also use CRC non chorlinated. The reason I said the NAPA 3M brand that "NORMALLY" IT IS UNDER 3 bucks all day long and I have found it to be the most powerful of all sprays that I have used. It will blow sh-t out where u never thought sh-t could be, other than that they are about all the same. They won't harm ur polymer, but like some here also they want ty stay with gun scrubber which is just as good, basically the same stuff with some smelley stuff added to it. Never get ay of these spray/gun cleaners on wood grips or u will have to refinish them, same thing for Hoppe's #9..

            Sorry I don't know how to post this reply/question! I have some Hoppe's Clean Start - is that chlorinated/non-chlorinated? Have a PM45 I want to prep and don't want to damage -
            Thanks!

              According to the senior guys on here, if you buy any Brake Cleaner that is " NON-CHLORINATED ", you should be good to go. It will save you some $$ also. Look at my post above, and see what I bought at Walmart for less than $3.00 It blasts crud away and dries super fastttttttttt. Good luck.

                For the record, if you have a Big Lots nearby, they sell a can of the non-chlorinated brake cleaner for 2.00 (at least in my area of SC). . . MUCH cheaper than the Breakfree stuff.

                    bet it is non cholorinated. I would think it would tellyou that somewhere. Not to much cholorinated stuff around any more. If Hoppe's makes it and it is a spray,, I wuld say it is safe to use

                      I've had this can for a Long time - "Hoppe's Clean Start" Cleaner/Degreaser. Contains Isopropyl and Methyl Alcohol - it's so old, they probably didn't have to list chlorinated situation. It's only five bucks, but I hate to throw away usable stuff!

                        Ifin doubt only useit on the metal like the etire slide. I can't hurt anything tere. error on the side of caution... if it is that old.

                              Hey - just went to NAPA and bought the NAPA Non-Chlorinated brake parts cleaner#4800, for $3.29
                              Up at the top of the can under "directions" it sez, "May be harmful to plastics." Did I get the right stuff?
                              Thanks!
