Thread: Copper Fouling

Welcome to the forum Cigar, Wipeout sounds good.

Anyone else here tried it?

Have used Wipe Out Foam since it first became available and previous to that the other brands of foam cleaners. Wipe Out is the best of the foam cleaners. Also now giving Wipe Out Patch Out a try. Really like the WO products but still don’t find them as effective for copper as the dedicated solvents – Bore Tech Cu+2 and KG12.

I have always used the foams as my “lazy” cleaning approach – easy to use and reasonably effective plus no need to mechanically attack the barrel with any vigour. But when a barrel needs a good Cu dung out out comes the Cu+2 or the KG12. It varies from barrel to barrel of course and some barrels will be happy for ever after when cleaned just using foam.

Bore Tech Eliminator is more a general purpose/jack of all trades – deals reasonably well with carbon and copper but can never be a dedicated cleaner for each type of fouling.

Hoppes – after all these years still love that aroma.......

Stinky? Compared to Sweet's, it's like perfume.

You're right about it working well. I have nearly all the options and the KG works the best
