[QUOTE="jrock, post: 2843207, member: 78569"] I tried spraying a big muzzle brake with brake kleen and it didn't work well. I found that soaking a brake, or keeping it wet works far better than scrubbing it with a wet patch or trying to hose it off. I haven't tried carb cleaner but that works really well on related car parts. For muzzle brakes, I spray a bit of simple green let it soak for a few minutes and wipe it out with Qtips. I only use simple green on coated or stainless steel parts. It can damage paint and rust carbon steel quickly. I wouldn't recommend it in a barrel. I find most products, when left to soak, will take out tough carbon. It's just a matter of how much you want to spend, how long you can wait and if the product is safe to let it soak. [/QUOTE]
