Yep, leaves a horrible after taste, not a patch on Waikato.
Didn't try it (petrol) on purpose.

How would Waikato go as a "bore cleaner"? It has somewhat of a reputation for that kind of thing.

Probably a bit mild for bore cleaning. Maybe alight for rinsing out crud, which is basically all the complainants claim it does. Nothing too dramatic.
You'll note that those who complain of its "bore" cleaning properties aren't very hardy individuals.
I'd suggest they mix it with lemonade and make a ladies drink which was known as Shandy in the old days.
Either that or stick with the florally stuff in green bottles and quit whinging.

The base ingredient in most of the bore cleaners is kero. It is how you use it. Sorta like maxi loads. Squirt and pull thru aint gonna hurt the barrel. Far less than not cleaning me thinks. My mate never cleans the barrel on his X Bolt. Best last year at 365m with 65gr Sierra on 2 deer. Go figure.

I must admit Im not anal about cleaning either
