FrogLube Cleaning & Lubrication 

I'm really glad to see this. I subscribed just after you posted your first video about Frog Lube, largely because I wanted to see your follow up. I've been using it for about a year and a half now and feel the same way, although I can't bring myself to use it on my STI 1911 or bolt action rifles. Glad to see you're having the same positive results I am.

Thanks for the quick reply. I am new to firearms and loving it. Shooting almost everyday. Just want to make sure not harming friend's kids or my niece and nephew crawling around my house. I am looking to find local shop sells FrogLube. You got great videos.

I have been cleaning my 1963 Browning Semi-auto 22LR for 50 years. I used q-tips for most of those 50 years. That same gun was the first I fired as a kid. It was the first gun fired by 3 of my granddaughters this year. Absolutely no q-tip is going to stop a GOOD gun from firing. If it does, you have bigger issues to deal with.

Did the seasonings and shot the day after.Worked like a charm thanks to your precise and detailed video.Thanks!

Thanks for the support. You treat, shoot, treat and then go to standard cleaning. Depending on how often you shoot will determine how often it needs to be retreated. When the pistol stops "sweating" during shooting or if it's not wiping down easily that's when I would retreat.

I just switched over to frog lube! I love it! All my guns have it now. It is well worth the money. Great vid!!!!!

Ever since I started using Frog Lube about a year or so ago, it is all I use...ever. I use it on my knives and utility/multi tool kits as well. Absolutely amazing product.

Bought FL after your first video; I'm a believer. Switched exclusively to FL on all my guns.

No problem. I answered it before I saw your new post. Yes, I detail stripped the AR's and AK's, as well as the shotguns. I detail stripped the 1991's but just field stripped, so far, my other semi-auto handguns.

Enjoyed both of your Frog Lube Videos........outstanding job on explaining the initial application and then follow up cleaning.....keep the vids coming!!!!!!

Nice Frog Lube review, clear and concise, no drama. I'll be using it and will hand out to both sons as well.

Froglube is worth the extra cost. I just picked up a new Ruger SR1911 CMD (4 1/4" barrel) and treated it thoroughly with the froglube per the manufacturers directions. You can immediately feel the difference in the smoothness of the action. I watched the review by Hickock45 on the exact SR1911 model and he had some feed issues that he attributed to the stiffness of the spring/breakin - WELL, I put 100 rounds through it AFTER a froglube treatment and absolutely flawless performance. This stuff really works - very impressive!

Hi. New sub here. I read some guys comment on another channel, he said you had the best frog lube review on you tube. I agree. It's nice to have a fresh new channel all about guns and cool stuff. Thanks for the info sir. Great channel. Jeff

Thank you for the straight forward instruction video. It was the no bullshit, take it or leave it advice that I was looking for.

DirkD: I use it the same way I use it on all my firearms. Typically, when I'm shooting rifle, I take the liquid to the range with me. As soon as I've fired my last shot of the session, I pour some FrogLube directly down the barrel making sure I hit the chamber too. Then I'll run a bore snake through it. Once I get the rifle home, I clean it normally. I use it on my Mosin Nagant 91/30 all the time. No problems.

Yes, I use the solvent every now and again. I use it on the bore if it's heavily fouled prior to cleaning it with FrogLube. The idea is to heat the components prior to doing your FrogLube applications. It opens the "pores" of the metal to allow FrogLube to penetrate. Heating the components after you've done your application or cleaning will sweat the FrogLube out of the metal. That's not what you want to do.

Okay, logical, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Thanks for all of your help.

Two years later using FL and all my firearms have run flawless.Love it! Also use Rand clp, but it does stink. ;)

I use it on all my firearms. Pistols, rifles, and shotguns. That includes my 1924 Mosin Nagant 91/30 converted Dragoon and my WWII Walther P38.

It's all I use. I don't use any other products. I've had zero wear issues. I put a lot of rounds through my firearms. I have nothing but good things to say about the product including as a lubricant.

There is no set timeframe. It all depends on how often the pistol is used. Once you don't see "sweating" during firing or it becomes harder to wipe it down during cleaning, reapply.

I and numerous others use FrogLube on all of our firearms without exception. Enjoy the P238!

Very good video and have been using FrogLube for a little over a year now with similar results to yours. I am also using FireClean on my ARs and AKs and it is very good stuff too. Keep up the great videos sir!

Thanks Kevin!

Just the video I needed to see! Bought a P226 this morning! Damn you 10 day waiting period!

I need to go out this weekend and get some Froglube, and give my pistols the once over. Thanks for sharing Sir.

It will keep copper fouling from occurring. You'll need to make sure to remove any fouling prior to your initial FrogLube applications.

Good videos on "FrogLube", I'll give it a try... "Q-tips", I agree.... We used them and pipe cleaners in the Army to clean weapons, never experienced a malfunction due to Q-tip fuzz... Whatever gets the job done...

Yep, you do two initial applications and then you just clean and lube as you would normally using the FrogLube rather than a solvent and oil of any type. Depending on how often I shoot the firearm, I'll do a one time retreat about once a year or so.

Brass isn't going to hurt the steel barrel. The metal has to be equal strength or stronger in order to damage the metal.

I use Q-tips on all my guns. They work great.

Very good and detailed video. Thanks a lot. Waiting on my froglube to arrive. :)

You make some fantastic vids! Very concise and professional, yet entertaining at the same time. I have already purchased a FrogLube kit and can't wait to treat my firearms. I noticed in your video on the initial application that you stated that you treat your magazines inside and out. I was wondering if you treat the mag well also as well as the exterior of the frame (especially on a polymer frame). I realize there is not really a need to lubricate a frame's exterior but was thinking it may aid in the removal of residue. Does this cause handling issues (i.e. too slick to handle)? Sorry this post is so long! Keep up the great work! Subbed.

Thanks for the reply. In my setup, the parts would be heated to 140 while submerged in FroglubeCLP. The heat lamp idea is just to slow the cooling process, theoretically allowing more absorption...? I am thinking of adding another ultrasonic cleaner just filled with the solvent... but if solvent cleaning is not regularly needed, that might be overkill. It sure would make the initial treatments easier though. I think I will bounce some ideas off of the Froglube people and see what they say.

I'm just getting started with froglube. At this point I really prefer the paste. I may actually have wasted my money on the liquid. Maybe I'll just use it to pour down the barrel. Seems to me the paste leaves a better layer of protection on parts. I lightly wipe off, with a cloth, any paste I can see unless its in a wear point, where I leave it. Though not too much. The rest of the gun I just use my fingers to evenly distribute a thin film of the paste and then put it back together.

Ok im going to send for a froglube kit. ty for the quick reply!

I've been frog lube for a long time now. It works great and I've never had a problem with it. Great stuff....and I highly recommend it. On a side note....I too use Q-Tips to clean my guns. There, I have now confessed my gun sin :-)

I find Hoppe's cleaning fluid, BreakFree CLP, and Tetra Gun Grease does an excellent job. Maybe someday I'll try Frog Lube but what I use works well.

Good to go, I appreciate your insight and time.Take care!

I've heard of it but not used it. I understand it may be very similar to Froglube.

One suggestion I would give is when you first buy a new gun, really warm the metal up good and soak the slide inside and out in the frog lube and let it sit for 24 hours so it really works into the pores...obviously dont get it in the firing pin area.

If you are doing your two initial applications, you heat the metal up before applying. After that you simply use the liquid to clean and lube. Watch my application video to see how the initial applications should be applied.

Hi CrucibleArms, thanks for all your vids I enjoy them. After the initial heat treatment, how often do you do a full re-heat treatment again? Is one application good or do you treat them a couple of times before its just a quick wipe down and touch up to friction areas? By the way ex Navy vet here and I support all your efforts in helping keep firearms in responsible law abiding citizens hands. I live in California, and we have enough stupid gun laws as it is. Keep up the good work!

I would pull them out and re-apply once a year assuming you're keeping your firearms in a relatively humidity free environment.

It is only required for the initial applications.

Hi, I am new to your channel and so far I enjoy your very professional production. I was drawn to your two reviews of Froglube and how good a job you did on explaining the products benefits. I also have been interested in you reviews of the BOBERG XR9-S and .45. My question do you use Froglube on your personal carry Boberg XR9-S and if so how do you lube the inside area around the claw? Please continue with your excellent work -

Great video!! Love FrogLube!! Thanks for the help!!

8:23 if you unfocuse your eyes a little the towel looks like a frog 😄

It's not necessary nor recommended that other lubricants be used. FrogLube is a Cleaner, Protectant, Lubricant. It will actually eat away at any petroleum based products.

Hey Kevin, thanks for another Frog lube video! :) I bought the PPQ and frog lubed it per your advice and LOVE them. I wonder have you tried Froglube on a semiautomatic rifle? Thoughts? Thanks for representing our community so well and your contributions Sir!

Great video, sir. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for the informative videos on FrogLube. I am looking into getting a heated ultrasonic tank of FrogLube. It would heat to 140F and clean everything you put in there. Once the pieces come out, I am wondering about sticking them under a heatlamp for 20-30 minutes. I have a heatgun for my holster making, but I am trying to create as hands-off of a process as possible. In your vid, you use the CLP. Have you used the FrogLube Solvent? How does the Solvent fit into the FrogLube "process"?

I am wondering if there is any lead residue left in the firearms since the bullet is made out of lead. I shoot mostly 9mm with FMJ. Well the 22LR mostly copper plated if I could get it otherwise lead bullet. I love you M&P 40 video. I am a big fan of M&P as well. Love the shield. Thanks

Cleaning afterwards is good information, but does it work as a lube, for example, in a revolver for the cylinder etc?

Now is it mineral based? You mentioned vegetable grade. I was just wondering if you need to wear gloves.just for cleaning. I used to wash car parts in gas bare handed. Anymore I hear solvents permiate skin and can case kidney damage exc. So I take more care now.

Please ignore that previous question! I just finished the video! lol Did you do a detailed strip down of you AK when you started using Froglube in it and did you start with alcohol to remove the previous lubricant and solvents? Thanks again!!!

You have used FrogLube for over a year. Have you heard of Seal 1 CLP Plus? Supposedly as good, or even better than FrogLube. Like FrogLube, comes in a paste and liquid, as well as treated towelettes and patches. I have never used FrogLube, know people that have and swear by it, so figured I would give it a try. when it is delivered some time this week.

Q-tips are the bomb. What else can you use to reach some of the hard to get to places in pistols? IF I get a piece of fuzz somewhere, easily removed with compressed air.

While Frog Lube seems to be a good product I will stick with Hoppe's for cleaning and Hoppe's lube oil also CRC BreakFree. They work well for me. If you want smoother action on your gun have a gunsmith polish the interior parts.

Curious how well FL works with copper fouling in your bore, especially on your AR. Considering making the switch for my Mini-14 and using it on the bolt, op rod and receiver but I'm finding it hard to believe it will remove/prevent copper fouling. Cheers, Mike

Jacketed rounds do not leave lead residue. That's why they're jacketed. :-) Thanks for watching!

Okay, another question for you. I watched this video and what to do. I notice you use no heat as you clean/lubricate. I am sure there is good reason. However, that brings up my next question, after how long do we go ahead and do a heat and reapply to whole gun and wait 1 hour and wipe off again? I know about the two initial applications, but what is recommended follow-up applications to parts?

Question for you -- how do you "soak the slide inside and out" and NOT get it in the firing pin area???

Yea I use q-tips too.

Two quick questions, sorry to bug ya.:) Ok, seasoning one down...should i use the a silicone rag for the SS slide, or will it mess with the Frog lube? And i was told don't use break free or any other solvents/oils going further. It could conflict with the frog lube.Thanks!

thank you once again you been a tremendous help.

How is Frog Lube's ability to delay the formation of rust over the long term?

Thank You very much sir!

I know it's supposed to be a full CLP, but i was wary of it as a strict lube on the pivot points for things like the hinge and cylinder mount point. Ordinarily no matter what the object is, you'd use oil, how does this fair?

Mike, thanks! It's good stuff

If you have the paste are u suppose to heat it back up to reapply? I always thought that after u wipe off that u had to reapply? Maybe I'm doing it wrong then.

lol...sorry I should have clarified. Soak was a bad word choice, I meant apply it very liberally and just let it sit.

Just remembered to ask how would you apply froglube to a revolver?

Have you noticed any difference in wear? That's my main concern.

Crucible Arms, how would you use froglube. After shooting corrosive ammo? Thanks for the help!!!

How's froglube fair in rust resistance? Like if you get your firearm gets rain on it and your out hiking or a camping trip and cant clean it right away? Great video by the way.

CrucibleArms, I have a few firearms that I don't fire very often, with the froglube how often should I lube the weapons that dont get shot very often and are just sitting in a safe? Input appreciated as Im new to froglube

Great video

How do you get it down into the trigger assembly? Better yet, how do you get the product out of the trigger area?

Froglube is my go to CLP. it goes on everything I own. great product putting this on a hunting weapon may be considered baiting this stuff smells good. deer may thinks it's lunch .

I just purchased two new fire arms. The Springfield XD9 MM sub compact and so I will use frog lube on it. Already purchased FL just waiting for my ten day background check. My other weapon is a Remington 870 Tactical Express shotgun. Can I use frog lube on it as well? I haven't seen any videos demonstrating frog lube on a shotgun just handguns. I'm a newbie in regards to gun ownership so I'm apologizing up front with the questions.

Sweet.

Has anyone ever seen an extremely short pistol cleaning rod? The shortest one I can ever find is about 2-3 TIMES longer than the barrel I'm cleaning. Just unnecessarily long.

Picking up a sig p238 for my wife tomorrow(pearl handle).It's our first SS gun so it is ok to use frog lube on it? Thinking yeah, but just wanna be sure.

FrogLube recommends using a microfiber cloth. Don't use anything other than FrogLube as a CLP. FrogLube eats petroleum based products.

For the cost of froglube I will stick to hoppes. It's cheap and it works! So why change what works?Like the old saying goes "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" JMO

I use the Q-tips too for cleaning my guns. Who cares about the fuzzes? No distributor here in Switzerland for Froglube, got to stay with Ballistol..

any chance of you doing a froglube video on your ar15?

Hey Crucible, do you find that you may need to use other solvents every so often to remove really heavy duty carbon build up?

I just purchased a HK P30 and HK VP9. Following the field strip and cleaning with the Frog solvent I referenced the owners manual for lube point recommendations. I was greatly disappointed when I read not to use any lubricant that boosts metal penetration. They state it may deaden primers. I use Frog lube for all the reasons you and many others do. I've found it to be a great product, easy to use and works great. I don't understand HK's comment, "deaden primers" do you think they are referring to the bullet primer? I value you feedback as I learned from some of your other vids, you research. Thoughts???

It's all I ever use.

thank you for such a very informative video.I have frog lube as well but I was afraid I would mess it up but thanks to your video I have a different perspective on this fine product..\

Yes, it is a Cleaner, Lubricant, and Protectant. I use it on all my firearms including my revolvers. Thanks for watching!

A completely non-toxic, food-grade lube? You mean like cheap vegetable or olive oil?

How putting some Frog on the Hammer mech?

I use FrogLube on all my firearms, pistols, revolvers, AR's, AK's, shotguns......

Liked your comment about the q-tips. Who wants a gun that so persnickety that a tiny filiment of cotton could cause a malfunction. Any gun that is that volnerable should be banned.

BTW Great video very educational and thank you for your Service.

can i just toss it in a ultrasonic cleaner?

Hmm, I might just get me some frog lube, I usually use hopps, thanks for the vid.
