CLP damaged guns finishes

[zracin]

So I went through and cleaned all my guns..I've never used CLP all these years, so figures I'd give it a try considering what I've heard. 2 days later open the safe... And both, my pristine nickel cobra, and my nickel/ivory civil war era Smith and Wesson model 1 are all milky. It doesn't seem to rub off. Any thoughts? Maybe polish them? I'll try and post some pictures next time Im in the safe

How about a picture of the CLP you have? There are a few companies that make "CLP".

The only other thing I've ever used was hoppes... I've used that for all of eternity. The last time I cleaned these two guns was probably 2 years ago though with that. Here's a picture of the CLP I used. I bought it at candler road gun and pawn

Use Gun Scrubber and strip off the Breakfree. CLP is great for many things, but the coating for the “P” preventative can cause some dull finishes on bright polish stainless, nickel, and chrome.

Over the years, REM Oil has been the go to for most of these finishes.

Candler road? Scary part of town. The funeral home is called BROWN & YOUNG. Cause that’s how they all go
