Wow I hope that never gets spilled in my wifes purse!!! Her G19 has had perfume, lipstick, Coke a melted Hershey bar, the grey fuzz that lives in the bottom of a ladies purse. THe gun looked HORRIBLE. The reason I know that is that I asked to use hers one day to teach a new person to shoot, (after the .22) We had a discussion about the condition of her sidearm, and she gave me the doe eyes and said "Well it still worked!! I took a friend to the range and let her try it and it fired 5 mags and no hiccups!!" Jeeze Woman!
PS She does clean it once a year now weather it needs it or not!!

That almost seems like a better "real world" test than throwing the gun in mud or freezing it etcetera...
Glock should make a poster up extolling the virtues of their sidearms surviving hard storage...
Nope...didn't harm the finish at all!
I set my G19C on its side, dripped orange juice onto the slide and left it for 2 minutes. Then, I wiped it off. No damage...nothing whatsoever.
I think they were talking about the Orange Strip furniture stripper. That might harm the finish. But juice? No.

Wow, all you experts turned into a bunch of maroons. Two pages now and you can't figure out what is wrong. You have to use orange Kool-Aid! 
I have found that actually using a gun takes its finish off unlike some of the safe queens I see internet pictures of, I actually prefer the looks of a Glock once it has a fair amount of holster wear.

And where does a modern suburban dweller in America find yak urine?

Maybe but the squeezed tarsal glands of the the Yeti will remove the cosmoline AND the sludge that lives under the hand guards of the Model 1908 7x57 Mauser!!!

I never heard of orange juice doing that. I have heard (from the former Navy SEAL at my local gun shop) that soaking you wood furniture in blinker fluid will get out the cosmoline though (and this guy would have to know he was on SEAL Team 6) . Go down to your local auto parts store, pick some up, and give it a try on your next Mosin.

A friend of mine refinished his glock slide. He used some sort of crazy areospace chemical. I have never seen powder coating, and other finishes come off so easily. It ate the finish right off the glock slide, and really made the sights look like a pile of mud 
(he was to laszy to remove the sights). After doing the slide he did a couple car wheels, with the same effect. Whatever that stuff is, its bad. Probably would give cancer to robots.
As far as OJ eating a finish, It wont happen. If Oj would eat a slides finish, I can only imagine what a Oj/vodka screw driver would do to my stomach.

Is that in the same isle as the 710 cap?

Well since Arnold was on the news telling about how the California orange crop is ruined because of freezing, it will be too expensive to waste on Glock slides.
I for one believe it. I won't come near OJ as it is simply too dangerous. I heard that OJ can take your head clean off under the right circumstances! That is why I stay away from golf courses.

That blinker fluid won't work. You need genuine Russian Mil-Spec Blinker Fluid from Kalashnikov-Smirnoff. The stuff they try to issue us on this side of the Curtain ain't a patch to the Russian stuff. You can use it to remove cosmoline or fingerprints, disinfect a wound, work as automobile fuel (can have problems with Diesel), and act as lighter fluid. With a little sugar, doesn't taste too bad, either.

It's a good thing I wasn't drinking OJ when I read this or I would have spewed it all over my keyboard.

Try Coke.
Geeze I better expand on that.
Put the slide in Coca Cola overnight and see what happens.

That was already covered in the wife torture test post:
I had the same thought, though. I have seen Coke remove light metalic finishes before--although they were left in for hours.

I didn't want to reply to this thread, or even acknowledge that I'd read it, but I have to say that's the funniest statement I've read on the 'net in a LONG time. Thanks for a belly laugh.

Yeah, sounds like it comes straight out of the security officer training manual too. I think it's to scare people off. It works. I try to avoid guys like that at all costs.
