Anyone have any secrets to cleaning the pores of a stipple? Been my EDC gun for years and it is getting nasty on the frame. lol

that with soap and water was going to be my first try, when I get home. Thought others might have a better method.

I would use a soft nylon brush (toothbrush) and Murphy's Oil Soap. I have found Murphy's will gently clean dirt and grease off any plastic or finished wood surface without leaving a soapy residue. Good stuff. Mix it a little on the stronger side (per the instructions) for grease and mud. Scrub with the brush and wipe it often with a dry clean towel.

You don't need anything more than a toothbrush and water.

Assuming it is avail at walmart? Available everywhere including Walmart. Cheap too. It is nice because it cleans but will not dull, scratch or whiten the plastic. |

Soap water and scrub brush. Then use rem oil or call spray to shine back up. Take a paper towel and dry it real good after the call spray.
Worked great on my glock I just recently cleaned. Damon I hate that autofill deal on this kindle fire. |

But seriously, Toothbrush, Water, and Elbow grease. Soap would work also but, you have to ensure ALL the soap is off or else you will end up with a slick grip.

I use hot soapy water, but was thinking about trying auto detailing clay.

I'd say leave it.
In time it will start growing its own dreadlocks. |

Don't confuse your drinking cup with your Simple Green cup. That stuff tastes horrible and I still can't stand the smell of it. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Between carrying it every day and shooting the crap out of it, mine built up a fair bit of funk in it as well.
I stripped it down and ran it through an ultrasonic cleaner. Now it's good as new  Also, you did the stippling yourself on that right? Looks real good, dude. |
