Like Hoppe's No.9 it does a good job on carbon. It also cause issues with some of the chrome plated frame parts on Glock pistols or other firearm with plated parts.
Good review. Yeah I've always found that CLP is better as just the LP part, lube and protectant. For cleaning you should use another product designed specifically as a solvent to get out residue and grease.
Thanks for the upload! I have wondered for awhile how this product would fare against these repeatable tests. Seems to be a better protectant than I expected. I personally prefer the broad operating temperature range that the extreme duty line of lubes offers over others that burn away during use. Through all of my own experiences in barrels, I find the need to clean with both HOPPES #9 and a CLP. I use one product properly until I result in a clean patch, then I use the other after and it will lift carbon in a different way... Always keeps me thinking on ways to improve cleaning. By the way, I like the clock. -Nick
I think I'm doing the right thing. I use Butches bore shine for the copper, lead, and powder residue, then I use the Lucas clp to oil and protect the firearm.
I don't have any experience w/ Butches, but I would say that using a powder solvent and then protecting with a CLP is a good way to go. The only product I've tested that can truly do it all is Ballistol - as long as you leave it soak a long time.
Lucas oil will always perform well against corrosion. Everyone in the boating community uses it and their products pretty much have been used forever in the saltwater marine environment.
Nice informative vid.! I have just purchased a can of Lucas CLP and this vid. tells me to use it in addition to the Hoppes #9 for a one two punch!Cheers!
That would be how I would use it. Let me know what you think of the smell. I only used a small amount in my testing, but it reminded me of the smell of the fake rubber worms used for bass fishing!
In your opinion, what is the best lubricant for pistols. I own a few Glocks and am interested in finding a good lubricant at a reasonably affordable price.
Thanks for watching! All of the CLP's I've tested performed about the same. The Lucas CLP works well. It has a little bit of an anise odor to it - reminds me of rubber worms I use for bass fishing! LOL
What exact hoppes no 9 is this? I am asking because there are many hoppes no 9. I saw hoppes no 9 bore cleaner. I really do not know where exactly in pistol one is supposed to use it. Is it to be used only inside a pistols barrel? Or in the barrel,exterior of barrel, on the slides of the pistol,? I am very confused as first time buyer. Are you saying in this test that lucas clp is no good at cleaning a gun, in the barrel and everywhere else? What about breakfree clp, I am also seeing another clp called rand clp. You know i am just very confused and want to get easiest and best product to clean, lubricate and prevent rust in a pistol
Thanks for watching! Hoppe's No. 9 Gun Bore Cleaner is what is shown in this video. It is what I use for comparison when testing other products ability to dissolve burnt gun powder. Hoppes 9 is a powder solvent, you would use it to clean the inside of the barrel. As far as cleaning/protecting/lubing the rest of the gun, Lucas or most any other CLP will work fine.
Thanks for watching! Neither product was as effective on burnt gun powder as Hoppes #9. I think both products are good for lubrication and corrosion protection. The Break Free is a little thicker than the Lucas.
Thanks for the response I know hoppes is a good bore cleaner and what not but I was looking for something in an aerosol can that isn't as harsh on the rest of the gun that I can just spray down and scrub then lube with grease or thicker oil.
@@357magdad I have and I like in summer and spring time but I've had issues with it not repelling water and therefore freezing in my area in winter unfortunately, I guess I can really wipe it off well.
For burnt gun powder use lucas extreme gun cleaner blasts everything off and drys immediately . Still has a strong smell if that bothers u or for inside cleaning I would get shooter lube . But I love lucas extreme gun oil / cleaner never tried the CLP
I think on your powder solvent test your comparison should have been with Hoppes #9 and Lucas Bore Cleaner, rather than the CLP
Like Hoppe's No.9 it does a good job on carbon. It also cause issues with some of the chrome plated frame parts on Glock pistols or other firearm with plated parts.
My tests showed that the Lucas CLP was not very good at dissolving burnt powder.
Good review. Yeah I've always found that CLP is better as just the LP part, lube and protectant. For cleaning you should use another product designed specifically as a solvent to get out residue and grease.
Thanks for watching! I like to use Hoppes #9 for the barrel and cylinder and then a CLP like this to do the "L" and "P"!

Nice review. Lucas says their CLP has other uses. What else would you use it for? Lubing the garage door rollers?
Thanks for watching! I would say you could use it anywhere a light oil is called for. It would work well on tools, pocket knives, bicycles etc.
I think I'm doing the right thing. I use Butches bore shine for the copper, lead, and powder residue, then I use the Lucas clp to oil and protect the firearm.

Lucas is probably the CLP I've used the most.
I use clenzoil or ballistol . I dry it off and lube it up with Lucas synthetic. Lucas is the best !
Thanks for watching! I'll have to see about trying some Clenzoil!

Yeah, I am thinking about finishing my guns with a light coating of lucas oil externally to prevent rust and sweat.
Hey, could you do a comparison between Hoppe's, Hoppe's Elite, and MPro7 solvents? Would be very interested in the results. Thanks
I'll add it to the list. Thanks for watching!

@@357magdad so why not use the lucas bore cleaner for comparison? Was thinking if that was a good alternative or not.
Do I need to use Lukas gun oil also or is this clp the only thing I need
Thanks for watching! I like to use a solvent like Hoppes #9 for burnt powder and a CLP like Lucas for the rest of the firearm.
All CLP’s require shaking up the contents before applying.
I shook each product before use.
Which is better for cleaning this lucas or break free?
Thanks for watching! Neither product was as effective on burnt gun powder as Hoppes #9. I think both products are good for lubrication and corrosion protection. The Break Free is a little thicker than the Lucas.

@@01tangodown Have you tried Ballistol? I comes in aerosol and it is definitely less harsh.

This bottle leaks. Don't buy.
