What to use to clean parts?

[phil441]

I prefer bath soap in bars and nothing rougher than a small hand towel. I learned from experience that steel wool and spirits on my (private) parts is too painful after the first swipe.

Maple Leaf, what were you doing using those products on your private parts?
You might have stumbled into the wrong forum, Eh?

How about a baking soda blaster, here is a link to make one cheap.

Seems like a good new tool that is inexpensive and environmently friendly.

As far a cleaning solution, I use (make) a product named Ed's Red, equal parts of Kerosene, acetone, mineral spirits and ATF, makes a gallon. Works great for cleaning your bore, removes lead build up very well.
