Disappointed

I decided to give this bore cleaner a try as I'm always looking for something better..... Although the Lucas cleaner smells good that's about all I can say for it. I have several other solvents, homemade Ed's Red being one of them that does a much better job of removing carbon, powder fouling and some even will loosen up lead deposits. I expected better with the Lucas solvent as I use their other car products and have been pleased with them.
