I have been using FrogLube for almost 2 years now and absolutely LOVE it! Despite recent complaints regarding the product becoming "gummy" I have not experienced that. Consensus is that it is not being completely wiped down after application. There is an excellent review (3 yrs old) from a COTEP member here on the forum, including detailed instructions and photos for anyone wanting to give it a try. http://www.cotep.org/forum/showthread.php?t=422 My own experiences are identical to the review.

Once you use it several times on a gun nothing sticks, cleaning is quick and easy. Bonus is the pleasant smell. I don't find the smell of Hoppes appealing and solvents and gun scrubber are absolute hell on manicured nails Warming the gun in the sun or with a hair dryer the first couple times helps with the application. It is not necessary to "bake it in the oven".

I regularly detail strip and clean each individual part in my Glocks, just because I can, but have not yet had the guts to detail strip my compact 1911, (Springfield EMP). It's hard for me to learn how just with manual or You Tube, much easier to be shown in person, step by step. For now I have to settle for field stripping and using q-tips in all the nooks and crannys.

I have found customer service to be quite helpful on the phone. For pressing issues or questions I prefer to call than email.

JMHO
