What do you guys think of them? (Mil-Comm MC25 Cleaner, Slip 200 725)

Something about a water based cleaner on a firearm seems wrong to me.  Thoughts?

I use the Shooters Choice "Aqua Clean" bore cleaner with excellent results...my favorite currently for copper.  I have not found a downside to it, its also fragrance free.

ive been trying to like frog lube.. but its difficult. it doesnt last very long and my rifle gets dried out in a couple hundred rounds, then gets gummy. i wanted to like the stuff, but it doesnt work as well as normal oil based lubes from what ive seen.

Dawn dishwashing soap works pretty well

Pro Shot copper remover does a good job on both copper and carbon for more intensive cleaning.

I use just about whatever I have handy.   ZEP cleaner, 409.  SLIP 2000/725 just used this afternoon after shooting a couple 100 rds.

I've even scrubbed uppers and lowers in the kitchen sink using hot water.

And if I need to I'd take them to a car wash.

Just dry off all the water when finished.

Since nobody has given you an answer here is my opinion.  The water base cleaner I am familiar with is Slip 725 and its a good cleaner.  You must remember to wipe away the excess and lube those areas to avoid any issue.  Now I understand what your concerns are when it comes to water and firearms so once my Slip is used up I am changing to MPro 7 cleaner to avoid any rust or problems that can come from missing any areas where the water base product was sprayed.

I don't like water based cleaners for the obvious reason that it is water based. Out of the cleaners you mentioned, the only one I have experience with is the Slip version. I thought it was a poor performer....it just didn't show me much. I like their lubes, but the cleaner sucked.
