[QUOTE="Vettepilot, post: 1934365, member: 114372"] Well, this will get a few laughs but here goes anyway: For carbon and general cleaning, I use Ed's Red. (Google it.) I have tested it against a good many products. Clean until white patch with product "X". Then run a patch wet with Ed's Red, and wait 5 minutes. The next patch comes out BLACK. It just plain works, and the ATF and lanolin in it are excellent protection against rust or corrosion. For copper: 2 parts 10% industrial strength ammonia (Ace Hardware) 1 part sudsy ammonia. (Walmart) 1 part Ivory dish soap It's cheap, and man does it work! I never let it sit in a bore for more than 5 minutes, and when the patches start coming out without blue, I run two or three water wet only patches, then a couple dry ones, then an oil patch or mop. Just my way, but I'm happy with the results. I've gotten tons of "gunk" out of many supposedly clean barrels with this stuff. Vettepilot [/QUOTE]
