A friend of mine submerged a suppressor in it overnight and when he took it out the next day the carbon was gone, but it had no finish left left on it either.
I would suggest that you do not use it with any type of baked enamel finish. |

For cleaning the guy in the AGI tapes really praises it. CLP for lubricating.

I've used it for years on steel, with no ill effects.
It's great for de-greasing. I use it with REALLY hot water. I shake off all the hot water and follow up with CLP. I use it about once a year when I detail strip and REALLY clean a weapon. It's like brake cleaner but with less smell. |

I use it all the time as a degreaser but I have seen a few problems with it. Specifically I've seen it strip the black off cheap parts such as Leapers scope mounts and I know a guy who had the finish taken off his Makarov by Simple Green.
About once a year I detail strip each of my guns, dunk them in Ed's Red and really scrub them up, then use Simple Green to completely degrease them before applying a fresh coat of CLP. |

Foamy engine brite does OK, as does Easy-off.

We're not allowed to use simple green on aircraft landing gear or other high strength steel parts. It seems that it contains chlorates that attack the steel microstructure and will cause cracking that eventually causes the part to fail.

I've been cleaning all of my weapons for quite a while with dish soap and HOT water. I have found nothing that degreases as thoroughly. Of course you still need bore cleaner in the barrel, but dish soap, toothbrush and very hot water does an outstanding job of cleaning.

Don't do it. It can remove anodizing! Bad idea!
