[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2282312, member: 93138"] Thinking of "Cosmoline"? The original stuff dating back to the WWII (at least) is some pretty fierce stuff. Fortunately I've only encountered it a couple of times. Lacquer Thinner seems to work the best on it. The Chi-Com stuff used on AK's and SKS' is nearly as difficult to remove and it's smell is not something easily forgotten nor easily described in family friendly language. IME 'Gun Scrubber' has a slight edge on brake cleaner for the truly difficult to clean parts etc., but not enough to use it exclusively. I can buy brake cleaner for a lot less per can (by the case) so I always start with it and progress to Gun Scrubber if the brake cleaner isn't getting it done. I use PB Blaster, Boeshield T9, and occasionally Break-Free as my rust inhibitor options. [/QUOTE]
