[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 2233001, member: 109113"] I have also been using this stuff for a couple of decades. I just set the rifle in the cradle, pump in the foam, and let it soak all night. I only use the accelerator when I want to use the rifle again pretty quickly, which isn't very often. On occasion, I have also soaked them for a second night, just to see if there is any blue on the patch. I only had that show up once in all these years. I have also bore-scoped the barrels several times to see if they were clean, and now I don't even bother. I have never found anything with the scope after an all-night soak. This product works exactly like the manufacturer says it does, and I have been completely satisfied with it. The only thing I don't like about it is that it will eat the oil finish off a walnut stock in no time at all, so a stock boot ( like the ones Sinclair use to sell years ago ) takes care of that. I also put a rubbery plastic tube on the nozzle, and it effectively plugs the chamber end of the barrel. I jam it in tightly, and leave it all night, with the can still attached to it. This prevents the foam from creeping back into the action, where it will drain down into the magazine well and make a mess. The excess just drips out of the end of the muzzle, into a cottage cheese tub on the floor below. I throw the patches in there, too, and clean-up of the working area is quick & easy. I have never used any brushes with Wipe-Out - never felt a need to do so. I think it will probably eat a bronze brush in short order. I also don't do any back & forth scrubbing with the patches.
