The whole process took so long because I was taking my time and wiping everything down thoroughly, I was tired and didn't take before pics of my AR. Here's the after pics

So far so good. The froglube made all my guns look new and the actions a lot smoother.

I will update on shooting impressions, which might be a while for the pistols because I don't shoot them much anymore, and will update on the next cleaning

Nice I was waiting for a memeber to do a review.  I'm looking for another alternative to royal purple gun oil

To the OP: what's your impression of Froglube versus Ballistol? I've only used Ballistol on my AK, Glocks and ARs, so I'd like a compare and contrast if you're able. Thanks.

Sorry I've never used balllistol so I can't compare. Froglube has been good so far. Works best when the item is heated.

i use froglube
 the inventor i think is an ex-navy seal
it is apparently non-toxic
there may or may not be a video of the inventor brushing his teeth with a gob of the green stuff.

also, it smells good, like listerine or wintergreen

So far I have used Froglube on my CZ 75B +1000 rounds downrange.  Clean with Froglube every range trip which has been 150-250 rounds per trip.  Seems like the Froglube works as advertized. 

Things I have gathered..

1.  Before initial application one needs to remove ALL of the other oils and grease with 90-100% rubbing alcohol.  (Froglube is said to gum up if it interacts with petroleum oils)
2.  Heat parts with hair drier and apply to all metal parts, liberally on large surface, sparingly on moving small parts and crevice areas. (don't want too much build up of Froglube in tight areas)
3.  Wipe all excess off after it has cooled and dried for one hour
4.  IMO, the key to using Froglube is the "less is more" approach....

When you shoot, the Froglube re liquifies and floats carbon and debris off of the metal surfaces.  It is real slick and cleaning of carbon seems a little easier in most places.  The carbon buildup in high traffic areas, such as the barrel ramp, slide face, extractor is still a little work to clean, but that is to be excepted.  It is no harder or easier than that of the other cleaners lubes I have tried, however, it seems much slicker, and it seems to get even more slicker the more you shoot. It also seems to get lead fouling and carbon out of the barrel real fast and easily, however, copper streaks seem to not really be affected.  The copper is not really build up, just streaks, and I am trying hard not to use a more aggressive solvent.  I want to see if that does anything to effect accuracy, so far not, and I am not worrying about it.   So far So good for me. 

To the OP: what's your impression of Froglube versus Ballistol? I've only used Ballistol on my AK, Glocks and ARs, so I'd like a compare and contrast if you're able. Thanks.

I use both, I really like the ballistol on my revolvers and rifles.  I think they work equally well, with different modus operandi.

Haven't used the paste in a long time. I use the froglube CLP regularly.  Good to go

I use Ballistol because it's non toxic and works well.   To bad it smells like spoiled milk and a gym towel...
