i just finally shot my new arsenal...wow..im highly impressed!i put a alg trigger in it and am super happy with it...now i need to clean it,however i remember reading here that certain solvents will eat the finish..i have hoppes #9..is that ok? Use only CLP. It's what they list in the manual and will not damage the finish. |

Hoppe's will most likely remove some of the OEM paint due to its high ammonia content.

Ive used Hoppes on my SGL-21, it didnt ruin the finish. I didnt rub it all over the gun though, just down the barrel... so I dont know what people are doing that its removing their finish.
But I use CLP more than anything, which I have rubbed on the gun, and it didnt remove any finish. So you would be good with that. |

The SLR's have a horrible finish that damn near just rinses away from solvents. Best to just stick to CLP on those. I may use a solvent in the barrel, but I'm really careful to keep it off the rest of the rifle. |

Also worth mentioning that hoppes is NOT recommended for use with chrome line bores, as ammonia can etch chrome.

I use Breakfree. Not because I particularly love it, but because I got a lot of it for free

I use only Breakfree CLP on mine...nothing else!!
Nothing else is needed. The Breakfree CLP works great and that is what Arsenal recommends. |
