Q:

Cleaning the outside of the gun?

Never mind the bore, what works for the exterior of the gun?

GooGone? Fantastic? Windex? Pledge?

What’s a good cleaner that cuts through the crud and leaves a nice luster?

Might work, but I’d be concerned that it’d start to soften up the paint on your shroud.

OK, I thought about it for a bit, and had a brainstorm (sort of), and went for it…

ya know what worked really well?

“Pledge” furniture polish in the spray can.

It’s got silicone in it, as well as cleaning agents that remove oil, dirt, etc., and it doesn’t have anything in it that’ll dissolve the paint on a shroud.

You should see the LUSTER on the gun, and it’s lemony-fresh smelling too (lookin’ at you, YN. :lol:)

Anyway, it works really well. Give it a try.

SHAMWOW it works on everything else
lol

i just use fantastic

Only if you want it to end up looking like the airgun equivalent of a beat up hooker…

… But WOK swears by his so maybe I’ll get one eventually.

Ballistol multi purpose sportman’s oil. …got mine at pyramid. …says it :”lubricates, penetrates, cleans, protects, preserves.” F***k …you could probably wash your car with it 😆

Good for “firearms, leather, knives, wood, tools,” etc.

I use silicon spray also, The one used by divers. It sais “100% silicon” and its a white liquid.
It leaves the gun all nice and shiny 🙂

yeah buzz I am with ya, what works ?
The best thing I have used so far is IKlear apple polish sh-t works wonders on a glossy display and optics, comes with a micro chamois and does ok on the af guns, but there has gotta be something better.

Silcone spray is safe. Never know when you might want to lick your gun either. Get the food grade. 🙂

Quick tip… you should use those words! It’s a sneak attack… It makes it a lot easier to get in their pants. 😆

Spit and your jacket sleeve is the only YN approved method of washing a non rusting item.
