Question 1

Can you use this spray all over the entire internal mechanism and barrel?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can. Just remember that you will have to wipe it off before applying oil. Do not spray anywhere you will not be able to wipe or oil. Also be careful around any special paint job to make sure it does not remove the paint.

Question 2

can i use WD 40 to clean my gun?

Accepted Answer

Yes--I used to use it to clean out alot of carbon deposits in pistol actions but it will not get lead or copper out of the barrel.  Furthermore even though it is a water displacement oil (WD 40 means Water Displacement formula No. 40) it does contain moisture and I've seen where left on bare metal or chrome parts rust began to form.  I now use the blast off types of gun cleaners to clean the gunk out and lead and copper solvents for the barrels.  Careful when applying the evaporating gun cleaners in a can that blast carbon away--some can melt or damage the plastic parts in guns.  You'll have to check the warnings on the can it make sure it is safe for plastic.  Before I knew this applying an aerosol gun cleaning solvent ruined a pair of pistol grips as they melted reacting to the solvent.  The aerosol oils commonly available are all good for cleaning the bulk of carbons solids out but the gun should be wiped down and appropriate gun oil should be used.  Safari Charlie's, Amsoil, Browning, Balistol, Rem-oil, Birchwood & Casey, Gun Slick and Hoppes are all good oils to clean and leave on gun after wiping down.  To really clean a gun before oiling it the Birchwood & Casey Gun Scruber, Break free and any other evaporating solvent will do with the caveat regarding what I had written earlier about plastics.

Question 3

Can I use these with Boresnake made for use for a revolver? Which part of the boresnake do I spray this? And which part of the boresnake do I spray the lubricant? which lubricant do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

You could use it on a revolver with a Boresnake.  I'd spray it on the 'brush' part, and the area just ahead of that part.    I'd then put some gun oil on the last part of the snake to then go through the bore.   And you have to do each of the cylinder chambers also you know?

Question 4

Will this cleaner damage synthetic/rubberized grip? If yes - will appreciate advice on products that help quickly and effectively protecting grip.Thx!

Accepted Answer

No problem with that although I never cleaned the grip with it. I have used it to clean my Glock and XD. They are made of the same thing basically.  I wouldn't hesitate to use it. Excellent product.
