I have a couple of Glock's I would like to use Gun Scrubber on.
However, I have used it in the past on my knives and I think it did some discoloring to the G-10. It whitened it.
Can anyone tell me if it is safe to spray on Glocks?
I Don't want to mess up a couple of new guns. Thanks in advance.
 
I've used Gun Scrubber and similar products on my Glock 23 for years. It does leave a white residue, but before reassembling the pistol I simply wipe the whole polymer frame with a cloth that's got a light coating of gun lubricant on it. I then wipe the the frame with a clean cloth and the white residue is gone. I've never noticed any harmful effects from using the spray cleaners.
 
Seven,
I use Gun Scrubber all the time on my duty G22 and my personal 27. It evaporates quickly and will temporarily turn the metal a grayish color as it evaporates. I put a little RemOil on them and they look like new again. Been using the same stuff for five years with no problem. I've also had it turn G10 on knives gray, but this is not the same, on metal it goes away quick and easy with a few drops of oil.

Be very careful with Gun Scrubber. It is a very powerful solvent and can damage many common insert materials used on knife and gun handles.

A few years ago Gun Scrubber got a major reformulation to remove chloroflorocarbons thought to cause environmental damage. The name was retained and the packaging was virtually unchanged. But, it is a substantially different product inside that can today. So, if you've used Gun Scrubber in the past, be aware that while it looks the same, today's Gun Scrubber is a different product.

When I got my first can of the new stuff, I didn't notice the change and used it on a folding knife that I'd always used it on. It attacked the plastic spacer, and not just left a little white residue, but dissolved it.

I tested a tiny bit on the plastic frame of an H&K USP and it was fine. So, I used it on the gun and it just washed the red and white paint markings on the safety lever right off. So, be careful with this stuff.
 
yes gunscrubber will dry out the oils in certain types of grips did it to my wifes SIG P225 grips, streaked them - but they are slowly going back to normal - try some armor all on them, yes i know, slippery but i had to do something i messed up my wifes guns grips lol - but yes i can see where they might mess up G10, etc - but i use it on my glock 32C,33,23,27 and 30 all the time w/no probs - no discoloring at all.....

Thanks for all the info. I am going to use it today. Also should I spray some lubricant into the trigger mechanism after I am done or leave it alone. I know gun scrubber strips everything away. Thanks.
 
While i'm sure the gun scrubber stuff is fine if used properly... i'll skip the hassle and risk.

I always clean my guns with a combination of Hoppes #9 Powder Solvent, Outers Gun Oil, and either Silicone Gun/Reel Rag (for Blued Steel, Nickel, and Anodized Aluminum) or a Lead-Free Gun Cloth for the stainless hardware.

I don't own a Glock (yet... tryin' to remedy that), but as far as I know it's not heavily dissimiliar in materials to other firearms, so here's what i'd do:

Go through the usual disassembly of your Glock (REMEBER THAT CHAMBER CHECK!) and then:
Take the Hoppes... run it all over the insides and outsides of the slide and also the feed ramp (if it is steel, not sure about this), then run a dry cloth through to remove all the hoppes about 20 or so seconds later, run several hoppes-soaked patches through the bore, when satisfied that it's clean, run a dry patch through to remove hoppes residue.
Ok now... put some of the gun oil on a patch or rag (I find that old undershirts work exceptionally well for these purposes) and run that through the guide rails of the slide and frame, also if you have a STEEL GUIDE ROD (the standard glock guide rod is not steel) run the oil lightly over the guide rod, not excessively, but give them a light oily finish.
Ok reassemble that doggie and make sure there is no oil or hoppes touching any polymer parts, if it is, wipe it off. Next MAKING SURE THE GUN IS UNLOADED AND THE MAGAZINE IS REMOVED cycle the action several times (10 to 20 times) and once again wipe off any excess (especially on the polymer parts), notice how smooth that is? Aint you glad you listened to good ole Y.C. about lubin' dem guide rails? :)
Now go over the slide with the silicone gun rag (don't worry about applying the silicone rag to the polymer, it does nothing either way)
Voila! One clean glock ready to rock.

Hope this helped
 
Y.C,
Yeah,
I lube them guide rails with a little reeve grease, and they sound like finely honed shears, zip, zip. ;)
