MILITARY GRADE SOLVENT Reviews & Ratings

H2O-free, distilled petroleum solvent breaks up fouling for easy cleaning without harming wood, plastics, polymers, Cerakote or hydroprinted finishes. Non-staining and odorless, MGS evaporates completely and leaves no residue behind, so it helps reduce both the duration and frequency of cleaning. Spray bottles make for easy application to patches, brushes, or directly to a surface to be cleaned.

Stop Using Your Old Solvents...

I've been using strong smelling solvents for years and the house had those odors for hours and up to a day. I found this product and it works the same if not even better than your traditional solvents. No scent and it works!

Perfect cleaner...

I've used Hoppes #9 for the past 20yrs... It's what my dad used and his dad as well. I decided to start trying different cleaners after realizing I always smelled like solvent. I bought a small bottle to start and was immediately surprised how well it worked! I literally didn't have to scrub a pistol with 200 rounds through it... Just spray on and wipe off! It's that simple! This cleaner is NOT a lube... So make sure to oil after cleaning.

Best gun cleaning products on the market

Best cleaner out in the market right now. It has no odor but cleans like if it did. I will be a lifetime user.

Great cleaner

This is one of the best gun cleaners I have ever used. Like the other gentleman said, spray it on, wait a minute, and brush or wipe the crud off. Real bad carbon may need some extra scrubbing.

New Cleaning Standard!

Based upon the way the cleaner works, I am changing the way all guns are cleaned in my shop. A little spray and a toothbrush will completely loosen stubborn debris. It is easily wiped clean. The cleaner has no odor.

love it!

NO SMELL AND CLEANS REALLY GOOD. IT WAS REALLY NICE CLEANING MY GUN INDOORS FOR ONCE.

This stuff is amazing

Easy to use, no smell, works great!

Just ok

Figured I'd start trying new solvents and oils for a change, looking for something that might be better than the usual. Had high hopes for this stuff, but was ultimately not terribly impressed. It's decent, but I don't get all the "best ever" love for it. I'm gonna keep looking and won't buy any more of this.

I Hate to Differ

I have been cleaning guns for 40 + years, I am now 60. I have used all sorts of cleaners for all sorts of guns, from shotguns to rifles to every kind of pistol. So I think my issue is I bought this as a cleaner for immediate use on 1911's etc. It is poor for this application. I have not used it as a soaking solvent WHICH is apparently what it's intended use is.
