A few months ago, I was just finished with my own personal evaluation of several wondrous new cleaning products that were supposed to be much superior to Breakfree. Despite some high hopes caused by the various claims on the Internet and several gun forums, I was mostly disappointed.
Few of them were bad; but none of them showed any real edge over Breakfree. Not only that; but some of them were a pain to apply - basically requiring me to clean and degrease the entire gun before I could even try their product out.
I had just about decided to go back to Breakfree when I saw a couple of people commenting on a product called SLIP 2000. Out of four or five different gun forums I frequent, there were maybe 2-3 posts total and nobody seemed to know much about it; but I did recognize that the people commenting favorably were generally very knowledgable on AR15s. Since the AR tends to be a little bit on the dirty side; I figured there might be a slim chance the product lived up to its reputation.
I extended my test just long enough to try SLIP 2000s version of CLP and I can say I am really glad I did. It is clearly superior to Breakfree in protective abilities, lubrication and cleaning. In fact, I liked the free sample so much I ordered some of their more specialized cleaning stufff (Carbon Cutter) to hit some parts on my AR that had been neglected for a very long time. However, by the time I received the parts, the SLIP2000 CLP I had used to lube those parts after the last cleaning had worked most of that built up carbon and grime loose and there wasn't much point to trying it out.
Mostly though, I wondered why I hadn't heard about the product sooner when I saw such a dramatic difference in how well it worked. What's a product you've found to be a great deal but just haven't read or heard much about despite that?
