9. Outstanding, All-In One, Cleaner & Lube A super cleaner, lubricant, preservative containing Teflon and other specialized chemicals. Penetrates and displace corrosion, dirt, firing residue and water better than ordinary solvents. Keeps on working after application as a fantastic lubricant that grit cant adhere to; coated parts actually become self-cleaning. Guns and parts treated and cleaned with it re never degreased – so theres no chance of rust forming. In lab tests, Break-Free removed 98% of all firing residue and withstood over 100 hours in a 5% salt spray test with no evidence of corrosion. Provides lubrication at temperatures from -65 degrees F to +475 degrees F, without gumming up or breaking down. (Brownells, Inc., 2013).
