| Firearm Cleaning & Maintenance Guns are mechanical tools that require routine cleaning and maintenance to remain dependable. This is especially true for defensive weapons that must work as expected when you need them the most. This forum will cover these important areas and encourage you to ask questions before taking on an unfamiliar task. |

Final wipe down?
What do you use to wipe down your weapon? Oily t-shirt, patches, silicone cloth, other??

I cut up an old 'black' t-shirt for this. I use CLP and wipe the outside til it shines again. The black t-shirt wont leave noticeable fuzzy's on the gun like a white t-shirt does.

I buy pre-oiled 'gun wipes' followed by a clean T-shirt (old but clean).

Cool forum, as I have just started with the whole CC thing.
Have you ever heard of DRY silicone gun cloths? Don't leave your hands all oily and greasy - great as a last wipe cloth. They sell some cool ones at GunCloths.com - Home - political messages, gun graphics, etc. |

I have a 100% cotton T shirt that I sprayed with RemOil. I use it to wipe down my guns.

I have an old golf towel that is only used to wipe down the gun's exterior after I spray it liberally with pure silicone. Never had a rust issue
