One very good gunsmith I know uses a lot of WD40 as a cleaner. Its only $20 / gallon.

I've used WD-40 before, albeit not on a gun, and I've found that it leaves
a gooey residue, which makes it great for a handsaw or a garage door track,
but what does it do to a gun?

Thanks,
Rich

Its not the final treatment for gun parts. No "cleaner" should be. It does
a decent job of removing accumulated gunk though.
