I would NOT recommend WD-40 unless you have no other option- and so long as it does NOT have a free-floating firing pin(those who have researched the SKS should know exactly why). WD-40 gums up over time and also does not have the same rust-inhibiting properties(it simply repels water) and wd-40 does not last long at all. If you want a good alternative to gun oil, either go for some synthetic motor oil or some Automatic Trans Fluid.

I've used non chlorinated brake cleaner and live in Palm Beach County, FL. I've never had anything rust but I don't let the brake cleaner sit on the parts for long. And you're right, I don't use it on certain materials but I spray all my polymer lowers and trigger assembly in both handguns and ARs and immediately followed up with clp to blast anything away

Good video! I just picked up a very dirty handgun from a local gun store used, I don’t think the previous owner ever cleaned it. It’s a polymer frame Walther and like you I was worried it might hurt the plastic and polymer parts. I covered as much of the frame as possible with a plastic bag and just aimed the can at the internals (rails, trigger assembly, springs, etc. immediately followed up with a towel to wipe away the excess. No adverse effects. I can also confirm that even on plastic parts it leaves everything super dry and gritty feeling. Trigger felt like garbage so I followed up by spraying breakfree CLP on the entire thing again let it soak for a bit then wiped away the excess. Smooth as butter. It’s a good cleaner to have but exercise caution. Cleaned up carbon really well!

I’ve been using non chlorinated brake part cleaner since the 70s. I’ve always been careful getting it on wooden and polymer parts even though it’s supposed to be safe. I always clean my all metal guns first, without grips. Wear PPE both nitrile gloves and eye protection! I disassemble and place the plarts in a Walmart clear polymer shoebox storage box! After completely cleaning all parts I respray them with CLR and then wipe them clean. By the time I’ve finished the third handgun there’s enough brake cleaner overspray left in the shoe box to immerse the parts for the next few guns. Using a small brass or nylon brush and liquid I do just that scrub them clean. Now comes the polymer guns, remove slide with barrel and all springs and submerge in shoe box with brake cleaner, brush, dry and coat with CLR, Now take polymer frames and internal trigger mechanisms and spray with Polymer safe Birchwood Casey gun scrubber, brush out with clean brass brush and dry. Spray with CLR and wipe leaving a thin coating on all parts. The most interesting fact is that the clear plastic or polymer shoe box which I bought in three packs from HD and Walmart now has about a half inch of the brake parts cleaner and a lot of dirt and carbon for hours and it’s just fine no distortion or softening of any kind. Sometimes I even put the top on it put it outdoors to use again later, so far so good. Be careful use only in a well ventilated area, it’s highly flammable! But it’s worked for years

I use Brake & Parts cleaner on all my rifles. Spray it on, including up the barrels, being careful not to get too much on polymer stocks, and none on timber stocks. Give it a little scrub with a small paintbrush or toothbrush, then wait for it to dry. I help it along with a little blower. Once that’s done, this stuff dries dry. Boresnake through the barrel a few times, then a mop to clean it all out. Once everything is all dry and clean, a good oil up, and you’re done. Gun care sprays are $30-40 a can, whereas the Brake & Parts Cleaner is $4-7 a can. Just be a bit careful, and take your time. Good video, by the way.

All I ever do now is spray the crap out of everything with breakkleen, air-hose immediately until dry then spray with rem oil and wipe down. I started doing this with my 10/22 because I shoot it a lot and got sick of cleaning it old school. It does have a magpul synthetic stock on it. After 10 years now It’s fine. It might be a tad faded but that could also be from many hours in the sun. There’s no obvious signs that the breakleen did anything negative. I wish I knew this 40 years ago lol.

Carb cleaner...$2-3 a can, Walmart brand. Keep it off wood, paint, and plastic.

Yes, but NON-CHOLORINATED!

Coat plastics/rubber/polymer before spraying harsh chemicals, then reapply the rubber protection again. As having auto detailing as a hoby, my first recommendation would be 303 Aerospace protectant/conditioner. Buy it by the gallon because you can use it on so many things, especially rubber/plastic outside the home. Check your outside ac unit. Look at those plastic peices. Keep checking for more plastic & rubber that you don't notice that's just degrading in the sun. Great on tires and dashboards too.

If you use most cleaning solvents, you have to wipe the metal surfaces with oil. I've used brake cleaner, paint solvent, etc for years. brake cleaner is great for cleaning shot gun barrels where we've shot lots of less lethal rounds at the range.

I switched from brake cleaner to carb cleaner. Carb cleaner is generally safe on polymers although I wouldn't want to drop a Glock frame into a carb dip tank. Carb cleaner is specifically made to remove carbon fouling. But either way (brake or carb), they work and arguably just as well as any specialized gun cleaning product. Just have to remember to follow up with oil if you use either cleaner. Carb cleaners will often leave an oily residue but it's not sufficient to lubricate most guns. So just pick your favorite gun oil and follow the manual.

Watch out for the brake cleaner ingredients. I've seen some brands (mostly store brands) change their formulation at will. In one case, the brake cleaner which had been safe on polycarbonate caused softening and fogging some months later. It now had acetone, and listed it first (with no other label changes). If you take a "keep it off all plastics" attitude, you shouldn't have any problems. If in doubt (perhaps about certain coatings) don't use it.

Birchwood Casey Gun Scrubber at one time even said it may damage plastics, rubber, etc. I have to believe that if it's blued, or parkerized steel, stainless steel or anodized aluminum it would be safe. Any polymer like a coating or paint, or any plastic part, just avoid that. I do anyway with any gun cleaner or oil. It's almost always the metal bits that are getting the dirtiest. Generally a dry clean cloth to clean plastic and rubber bits is sufficient.

Yes you can use Brake Cleaner but you have to make sure it is non-chlorinated as it can and will damage the polymer parts. As a Tractor/Trailer Mechanic I have sprayed regular chlorinated Brake Cleaner on the Polymer hubcaps and watched the cracks appear fast but Non-Chlorinated Cleaner has no bad effects, I sprayed down a cheap Polymer Handgun I had to see what the Non-Chlorinated cleaner would do and there were no ill effects at all but the Chlorinated spray damaged the Gun. After cleaning be sure to lube everything that should be and wipe the metal slide and barrel with oil to prevent rust. Delta Bravo is Correct .

I use gun scrubber which is real similar to brake clean , honestly maybe the same thing , i only use gun scrubber when i have a pretty dirty gun but it definitly cleans well. I always coat a gun well afterwards with gun oil of some type for storage and whiipe the excess off before the range.

Brake parts cleaner can be a number of common solvents. Some brands use n-alkanes (fancy name for jet fuel, kerosene, gasoline fractions) alcohols, and most commonly acetone. At $ 2 for 14 oz for the Walmart can is not bad for acetone. Check that O-ring in your AR extractor. Some rubbers are not compatible. Acetone is also a paint stripper and degreaser, so those painted dots on your slide could be gonners. Wear eye protection. Wear gloves. Use in a well ventilated area. Not really recommended to splatter on your optic's coatings either. Or you can use better, cheaper parts cleaner/solvent from the same paint section at the hardware store.

Thank you! MY Ruger LCP was new in the box but where it was had a roach infestation (Not my home) and there was roach poop inside the clip area etc..real gross! This was a new in box gun too! Now I had though gee, I could just spray brake parts cleaner inside it! Nah, can't be safe! Too easy! Then I find your video! Happy Days are hear again! haha Thank you!!!

In a pinch I was just wondering if spraying out the bolt when you don't have time to break down and re assemble would be ok. Fluted Chamber in a PTR might be good too since you really can't get that MF clean with traditional stuff. I would think it necessary to spray on an oil otherwise you are bound to miss some nook or cranny.

There should be no "pinch" when it comes to cleaning. Especially using WD-40. If you plan on doing something like that, a CLP is a must. However, if rushing, it takes minutes to strip, spray, and oil. Not worth the risks of doing something like you described.

😆, BEST! No, ZERO, nada malfunctions due to dirty gumed up actions! Good to keep your assault rifles running smoothly. But yes it will wear away your finish making your guns look like you actually use them...

Yes brake cleaner is safe. However neither brake cleaner nor the modern gun cleaning solvents are “traditional.” The traditional solvent is kerosene. Likewise costing the entire firearm in an oil has always been the norm for cleaning guns.

I appreciate the spoiler.

>using brake cleaner in your house Enjoy your liver cancet

Not sure what cancet is, but I was outside.

So should I use break cleaner and lube? Or not?

You DEFINITELY need to lube the gun after.

Contact cleaner...Similar price. Doesn't harm plastic. And also offers some corrosion protection. Even though I oil everything well after cleaning.

Thanks for the tip!

If you have a firearm thats cerakoted or has a parkenized finish, I’d stay away from brake cleaner, but for the most part it works great on guns that have a lot of rounds ram thru them

I've used it on a Cobray M11 and it was okay. However, better to be safe than sorry.

Hmm, instantly dissolved the plastic grips on my original Walther PPK .380. I love Rem oil.

Well, I did say don't spray it on plastics. Especially old plastics. I love listening to/watching videos in full!

Good video, I think brake cleaner is a very harsh cleaner hence the name its designed for cleaning brake parts, I would not use it on my firearms especially when there are many safer solvents, and you did demonstrate how it removes everything to bare metal, in my opinion its over kill for firearms.

Thanks! I think it's safe for moderate use on "modern" firearms. Do I use it all the time? Nah. But at least I know I can if I need to!

Good ventilation.
