Hoppe's No. 9 

Oh dear god... hello again, ancient RU-vid. How my eyes have NOT missed your potato quality uploads that were maximum resolution back in the day...

Been using Hoppes products for almost 50 years. I have, through the years, tried the others that are talked about being so much better. I have yet to find any cleaner or lubricant that beats Hoppes. I have guns that I have owned since I was old enough to shoot, and they still look like new with no rust, and all they get is a light coat of Hoppes Gun Oil. Its been around this long for a reason.

If Hank Hill was a Hoppes Salesman instead of a Propane Salesman. :)

After all these years of gun cleaning, I had a question. You answered it. Thanks.

I still need to get a bottle of this stuff. I'm waiting until the bottle that came with my cleaning kit is empty. It sure lasts a long time. Anyway, I don't get how people are so paranoid about the metal from the bore brush and associated parts scraping up the barrel. You have full metal jacket bullets bouncing all around in there at intense speed and pressures. You'd thing a bump or two from the rod at cleaning speeds would be nothing regardless of the type of metal...

Hoppe's is king. There is nothing greater.

My wife loves the aroma of Hoppe's No. 9. It's like an aphrodisiac to her! More importantly, this stuff cleans gunk the others leave behind.

Hoppes #9 is top shelf !

I love the stuff but gawd...that video is so low quality. FEH!

I have heard people say that Ballistol is better than Hoppes because they never had a problem. And yet if they had used Hoppes........they still would not have had a problem.

Please come out with a Hoppes #9 cologne. I'm being dead serious, I'd wear the hell out of it... Or make Hoppes shaving cream, after shave, soaps for humans, etc... Please! Dead serious!!!

Just fix your leaking lids and you would be worth a damn. Thats all.

Do not dip your brush into your bottle of solvent, please. Do not use a Stainless Steel brush in your bore, please. Change out the patch once you push it out the end of the muzzle. Do not drag it back through with all the gunk on it. Oil will dry out a wooden stock over time. But, Hoppe's No. 9 is the bore cleaner I use most. I use Hoppe's No. 9, 10W40 full synthetic Motor Oil and Hi-Temp Wheel Bearing grease. That's it. If it slides, grease it. If it turns, oil it.

Excellent product for sure. Can you please explain the difference between hoppies#9 and hoppies #9 synthetic blend. Where one might be favoured over the other.

Two questions: 1) Tornado brush: I'm sure it does a great job of scrubbing the lands, but what good does it do for the grooves? It doesn't look like it would get in there at all; the old fashioned brush would get in there better. 2) Gun oil vs. gun grease : when would you apply one versus the other?

@eurohim, I've been using this stuff since I first started shooting 13 years ago and love the smell. The reason for the "paranoia" is that it's actually more than just paranoia. For instance, aluminum rods are softer metal than steel and can be etched and pick up contaminants which will drag across the lands of your rifling. Bare steel rods are just an accident waiting to happen to a perfectly good (presumably) bore. It really isn't the velocity with which you're moving the rod and cleaning components in your bore, but the actual energy with which you're moving them. A slow, but inadvertent scratch caused by the end of a steel brush as it's improperly inserted into the bore can start gnawing away at the throat of your barrel, for instance. It won't likely cause the gun to fail, but with time your accuracy will suffer as the erosions caused by poor cleaning techniques continue to create abnormal patterns of wear. Generally-speaking, the only metals your bore encounters are lead, copper, brass, or copper alloys which are all softer than steel. Never wanting to remove material in your barrel, when possible, is always preferable. No one wants to wear out a barrel any faster than they must, and certainly not because of poor cleaning regiments or techniques. Take care of the chamber, throat, and crown to preserve your firearm's accuracy.

Nicely done video, thank you very much.

Hoppe's No. 9 is the BEST way to PHYSICALLY REMOVE all of that gunk that threatens the mechanical order of your firearm, so to speak.

@bippie23456, yes, I've used it on a number of my polymer-framed pistols and have even dripped some on various wood stocks over the years while cleaning, without a stain or blemish to the finish.

make sure you use 2 or 3 times more patch cloth then he does LOL he barely has enough to touch the rifling and he has zero resistance in the barrel. he could have poured the hoppes in and then just let it air dry for the good he did using a tiny patch cloth like that!!!! :-)

I use Ballistol , Hoppe's 9, or Clenzoil is clean my guns or knives. Hoppe's will kill your bluing over the years of storage. Wipe dry after a good Hoppe's cleaning. Then lube your guns up with a film of Lucas Extreme synthetic for the best humidity protection . Lucas smells so good. Use Lucas red synthetic or mineral oil on you hunting rifle.

Thank you.

Very very well done friend ..... Tks

Only four minutes into the video and there are already two glaring mistakes. 1) You don't dip a bore brush in your solvent bottle unless you really like contaminating the whole bottle. 2) Anyone using a stainless steel bore brush on his barrel will badly scratch the bore.

Is that a Hoppe's cleaning patch? Oh my!

As much money as I spend on Hoppes stuff, you would think they could afford to film it on a real camera instead of a potato. 240p in 2012?

How has No. 9 formula changed over time? Hoppe’s reacts with copper now. Years ago it didn’t.

Empty or do you mean UNLOADED and POINTED in a SAFE direction!

If hoppes 9 solvent prevents rust then why put the hoppes 9 lube down the barrel to "prevent rust"

Dear sir in the botom hoppes 9 grease of the paking the warning is This product may contain a chemical known to the state of california to cause cancer,birthdefects,or other reproductive harm.is this hazard substance?

Good info thank you......

very helpful thanks

You shouldn’t begin cleaning a bore with a brush that should be done in the middle of cleaning. The brush can pick up an excess of fouling if used in the beginning and wear the barrel.

Never use a stainless steel bore brush to clean the inside of your barrel.

Stainless steel brush?

Is the Hoppe's scent patented? I love my CLP, but if Hoppe's made something as good as Breakfree, I'd make the switch. Just to sniff it.

What a bad presentation for a great product.

Can I use Hoppe's Nr 9 solvent to clean an air rifle?

Think this stuff would be safe to soak my greasy kitchen hoods in?

Hi... Great Video...... question: I have a Hoppe´s No. 9 / GUN BORE CLEANER / Is it work to clean my cz 75? Not just the barrel i mean the hole pistol? greetings from Mexico!!!!

Mineral oil is as effective as Hoppes, which is not meant as an insult. That smell sells. Copper cleaning needs more.

The tornado brush is really stiff and hard to push.

Can I use this to clean my 177 caliber break barrel air rifle barrel

I have been using hoppes number 9 solevent to clean my Remington 870. after a couple of cleans I started getting worried about the fumes and it getting on my skin. I love this product but could it harm me?

Wait its hoppies not hops?

33 people aren't sniffing Hoppe's enough.

Does hoppes lube oil prevent rust

What's up with all these videos of old men sniffing the Hoppes 9 bottle? The enjoyment of the sweet carcinogenic smell of benzene?

What is a bore? Hoppes no9 bore cleaner? But which part of gun do you use this on?

Is Hoppes safe to use on guns with polymer grips, frames, and stocks?

Good! Thank you

Thankfully, I've been pronouncing this products's name correctly since 1962 against the opinion of other idiot alleged firearms enthusiasts.

What a piece of propaganda. Like you need a vice or rest to clean a rifle. Don't use a bore brush unless you've neglected your firearm. Not the best advice here.

Lube your gun immediately after cleaning with this stuff or it will literally ruin your gun over night

Wow! Just what Ive been looking for. Neglect your guns some. Don't clean them like you should. Let condensation form which you know about. No worries. Good old Hoppes number 9 "solvent" will fix it. That is, if you are using a Hoppes bore brush and rod. And if you are using that size patch on a 308, it will take more than 4 to 8 patches. The patch you used on this video is more suited for a 22. Very disappointing video from a giant in the gun cleaning industry. The funny thing is that I was looking to maybe switch to Hoppes by looking at some videos, but Im gonna stay with MPro7 at least for now.

:/

This guy is so cheesy. But hoppes is good stuff, a plank of wood could sell it

hoppes products suck

:/
