A viscous firearm gel cleaner that includes an organic cleaning agent such as terpene, terpene derivatives, terpenoids, terpenoid derivatives, turpentine and/or turpentine derivatives. The organic solvent includes substantially no petroleum distillates. The cleaner includes non-ionic and ionic surfactants to enhance the usability and effectiveness of the cleaner. The cleaner can also include an amine cleaning agent, a scent agent, a rust and/or corrosion inhibitor, a thickener, and/or a biocide. The cleaner removes grease, oil, carbon, plastic wad fouling and metal residues that can foul firearms. The cleaner is a water soluble, non-flammable, biodegradable cleaner. The cleaner is especially useful for cleaning outdoor sporting equipment such as firearms.
A viscous, substantially non-abrasive cleaner that removes organic and metal residues from hard surfaces upon application to the hard surface comprising a solvent suspended in a carrier having a sufficiently large viscosity to inhibit migration of said cleaner after application, said carrier including water and a surfactant, said solvent including an organic solvent, said organic solvent includes a cleaning agent selected from the group consisting of terpene, terpene derivatives, terpenoids, terpenoid derivatives, turpentine, turpentine derivatives, or mixtures thereof, said cleaner having a viscosity of at least about 1000 cp, said cleaning agent constituting at least about 2 percent of said cleaner, said surfactant present in an effective amount to emulsify said organic solvent.
A viscous, substantially non-abrasive, cleaner for direct application onto firearms that at least partially removes organic and metal residues from the firearm surfaces without scratching the firearm surface or removing the bluing from the firearm surface comprising a solvent suspended in a carrier having a sufficiently large viscosity to inhibit migration of said cleaner after application, said carrier including water, surfactant, a majority of said solvent being an organic solvent, said organic solvent includes a cleaning agent selected from the group consisting of terpene, terpene derivatives, terpenoids, terpenoid derivatives, and mixtures thereof, said cleaner having a viscosity of at least about 1000 cp.
