Thanks guys! I really appreciate all your advice!

What do you recommend as a cleaner to use on the aluminum rails if I decide to go with a separate cleaner instead of a combined CLP. Thanks!

AMC, THANK YOU! You always give the best advice!!!

BTW, I also wanted to thank AMC for your recommendations a couple pages back. I looked into corrosionx and it appears to perform amazing as both a rust protectant and as a lubricant as well. (Scoring just .4mm wear scar in the ASTM D4172 4 ball test for the aviation version). Kinda pricey at $25...

Thank you AMC, Tempest & Loobed! I went back and re-read it and it’s actually very clear. I was just exhausted when I read it. Sorry guys! They are very specific in the article that anodizing can be damaged by repeated mechanical stress whether treated with balistol or not. That it has nothing...

Btw it doesnt need to be a gun specific product unless it just happens to be the best for this. I know that many gunsmiths use food service grease, engine assembly grease or oil, auto grease, industrial, etc. In fact i believe many firearms marketed oils & grease are just re-labeled products...

Hey guys! What grease do you think would work best for this specific application/situation? To lube and mostly PROTECT from wear, the frame rails of a sig sauer p229. The frame is anodized aluminum and the slide is steel. I was using the suplied tw25b but it didnt protect it and it also doesnt...
