Best CLP? Hoppe’s 9 vs Break Free CLP, Slip 2000, Ballistol, Frog Lube, Extreme Force, Clenzoil

CLP Brands: Clenzoil, Break Free CLP, Slip 2000, Frog Lube, Hoppe’s, Extreme Force, Hoppe’s 9 Kit, Ballistol and Fluid Film. Testing approach took into consideration testing standards outlined in the Mil PRF 63460F. Cleaner, Lubricant, Protectants (CLPs) tested for: cleaning highly carbonized metal after 2 minutes of exposure to CLP and a 5-second cleaning process. Lubricating ability of CLPs tested using a lubricity tester. CLPs tested for the ability to resist rust, including after protected metal is exposed to heat. CLPs also tested for cold temperature performance at -40F. My goal is to always provide accurate and honest test results by avoiding outside pressure from manufacturers. To do this, I always buy all of the products that I test along with the test equipment and supplies used for the testing. So, thank you very much for helping me achieve this goal by your support of the channel.

Anytime Project Farm says "We're gonna test that" companies start sweating nervously. I love how you test things and prove/disprove any marketing wank.

It would be nice to see a part 2 of this with a few of the best performers from this test compared to Rem Oil, 3-in-1 oil, WD-40, synthetic motor oil, etc. Thanks!

May I say first of all that it never ceases to amaze me the amount of effort that Todd puts into these reviews and tests. He uses equipment and procedures that 99% of us neither have access to or patience to perform. Simply outstanding. I've watched several of his videos on products I don't even use simply because I love his approach and attention to detail. As to this particular test, it substantiates what I've thought all along. I've used Hoppe's and Break Free CLP for years not just on my firearms, but on different things that require similar cleaning and protection. Another thing, as I'm sure viewers have noticed, is that some of the more highly touted, sponsored and advertised products didn't perform nearly as well as the "old standards".

After watching this, I went out and bought the Clenzoil CLP. I also bought some of their grease to use where it's needed.
Cleaned a couple of guns with it and they are working and looking great. Time will tell how well it works in the long run.

This channel has some of the most detail oriented content I've ever seen, congrats

As a Marine, I was rooting for the Break Free. It is the best in all categories but you do have to shake it 2000 times and have a Staff Sergeant motivating it reach its full potential. It also doubles as an after shave that the ladies love the smell of. Ok, not so much but my vote is still for Break Free.

[dustinl]

The extent, time and consideration you put into all of your tests is mind-blowing and borderline overwhelming in a good way. They just keep getting better! This man must be protected at all costs!

[gpzjeffrey]

In the Army there was only Breakfree CLP. That was it. We cleaned our rifles every single day in the field. That was always second on the priorities of work, right behind maintaining security. Your tests reinforced what I always intuitively knew, minimal corrosion protection with the CLP. We applied more in the rain, less in the sand, and cleaned them every day.

We all have this man to thank for leading us to good quality products! Awesome video and great work as always PF!

[Bluesky]

Having recently gone to Clenzoil, I can honestly say it is the best I've found so far at cleaning up the gunk and residue. Since I'm in Florida, I'm not going to worry about it freezing on me, but I was surprised at that part of the test. Very nice testing sir, and very helpful to us firearm guys.

[humanresource]

A good thing to note;
The lubricity test should be the most important factor because we can clean off dust or even light surface corrosion but we cannot replace metal that has been worn away.
Great video, keep on testing

[ottokiehl]

Thanks for another great test. Something to realize is the one thing that Ballistol does that NONE of the others do is neutralize the corrosives from shooting black powder or ammunition with corrosive primers, which a lot of older surplus ammo has. It also does not negatively affect wood or leather.

[adama]

I might have to switch gun cleaners to cleanzoil. The wear scar was outstanding I might not even use grease on the sliding surfaces. Break free came to a close second, but I live near the ocean so I want the better corrosion resistance. This was very comprehensive and would let people know what they would like depending on their individual requirements.

[electronicsNmore]

It's been a while since we've seen one of your extremely thorough oil testing videos. :-) Can't wait to see which one performs best, I need some.

[bignuance]

As a mechanic that works on fighter jet weapons systems in the USAF, I can vouch for Breakfree CLP being a great choice for extreme conditions as we use it on several systems. :)

[stoptrackingourdata]

This was a great review for all in one CLPs; but I'd love to see a review on the solvents tested by themselves, oils tested by themselves, greases tested themselves, and even dry lubes as well. I think this would provide a clear winner for each job.

[rlambert]

I've heard over the years that Hoppe's is the go-to. Thanks for taking the time to perform this great test and opening my eyes.

[CplSkiUSMC]

This one was aimed straight at my heart. I've always used Hoppes#9 for cleaning but I use oil for lubrication. You did not feature the brand of oil that I use, and it has a very good reputation, but that Clenzoil lubricity test was amazing and I think I will look for some of that. What a great test... I eagerly look forward to your videos every Sunday and today was a real treat!

[facenameple]

Clenzoil's lubrisity test is impressive, so much so I think it should be tested in other oil-applications outside of intended usage.
