[QUOTE="DMP25-06, post: 2596640, member: 27271"] I don't have any suppressor to clean , but I will tell you what I have used to clean my Shiloh Sharps .45-70 Black powder Cartridge Rifle and brass . And it did a fantastic job of removing black powder residue from inside the barrel and brass . Using a mixture of Glycol-ethylene anti-freeze ( green auto anti-freeze ) and water in a 50/50 ratio , same as used in auto radiators , it made cleaning the barrel nearly effortless , and did a much better than the Black Powder liquid solvents marketed by Hoppes and others . Just soak a patch in the anti-freeze , swab the barrel a few strokes , dry patch 2-3 times , then a lightly oiled patch before storing . Non-corrosive and does not harm blueing on firearms . I dropped all of empty cartridge cases into the anti-freeze jug overnight , and it dissolved BP residue inside cases without agitating . I don't know if it will work on cleaning carbon buildup from inside a suppressor , but it might be worth a try . [/QUOTE]
