Riptide Armory Advanced Gun Cleaner & CLP+ Graphene 2 Step Kit - Clean, Lube, Protect Long-Lasting Formula - Nano Coat Technology - Veteran Founded & Formulated by Former US Navy Seal

I’m quite happy with this kit, with a couple caveats. Pros and cons, broken down by product. Cleaner Pros: Cleaner works very well. Doesn’t have a strong solvent smell which is honestly very nice. Cleans powder residue quickly and easily. Doesn’t leave any spotting or marks on polymer frames. When it comes to bluing, melonite, cerakote and nitride finishing it does a phenomenal job of making said surfaces look brand new. Well done! Cleaner Cons: The sprayer is just okay. It isn’t great, it isn’t the worst I’ve used. This could be improved heavily. Doesn’t do much for copper fouling which isn’t a con per se as it also isn’t a solvent and I didn’t expect it to. I have products for that. Overall excellent cleaner! Now offer larger quantities fellas. Graphene CLP Pros: I love this stuff, so I’m going to just start right here. It does precisely what is says it goes and makes cleanup a breeze. Seems to offer excellent protection albeit being a wee bit on the thin side. This stuff is slightly more viscous than water. I’ll say dawn dish soap struggled to wash it off my hands, so that’s promising for the cling properties. Running a patch of this stuff through the bore followed by a dry patch makes cleanup far more easy and seemed to help with copper fouling from my rather messy 10mm. This product is the bees knees. Also makes the melonite on my XDM repel finger prints like a boss. Cons: This is the suck part. The bottle is god awful. It leaks and the applicator nozzle has two rates of flow - drip or faucet. This should’ve came in a needle bottle from the start. That’s exactly what I did with mine; put into a needle applicator bottle. This makes this literally the PERFECT gun oil for most uses. Just the bottle is absolutely awful. Conclusions: Both products are phenomenal. The oil is beyond excellent save for terrible packaging. The products themselves are absolutely worth buying and I’ll always support veteran owned companies. I do wish both products were offered in larger sizes as I’d gladly buy them. Word of advice guys: Needle oiler bottle for the CLP Graphene Better sprayer for the cleaner Uses for oil: You could use it everywhere. BCG in AR, bolt in bolt action rifles, send it down the bore of any weapon and send a clean dry patch next for corrosion inhibitor and cleanup ease properties. I personally use Lucas extreme duty grease for the slides on my handguns as that’s a heavy wear point for pistols, but everywhere else I use this stuff here. Uses for cleaner: Anything and everything that isn’t severely copper fouled. It literally makes light work of powder and carbon, cleans old oil off easily. This stuff is clutch. For copper fouling I’ll recommend Boretech eliminator offered by Midway USA. If you have the Boretech eliminator and the Riptide kit, you’re good to go for cleaning and field strip/maintenance on your firearms. This kit is so close to being perfect. I’ll order it again but I’m prepared to repackage the items into better bottles haha.

*Firearms instructor here* *Not paid* I’d give a million stars if I could. I’ve been searching for a brand that does it all. And I’ve found it. Been using the All Purpose Formula and the Advanced CLP+ for over a year. I have NEVER used a more efficient and higher quality product in my life. I recommend this line up for anything. I’ve put 10’s of thousands of rounds through many firearms since using Riptide. Nothing compares. Slip, Hoppe’s, everything else is inferior. No oily residue that attracts/collects dust, dirt, lint. Non-penetrating, so it’s safe. One spray of cleaner will completely remove any amount of build up. Used all over my RDS, weapon mounted lights, everything. Just a very gentle swipe and everything is gone. One microscopic drop (in each area necessary) will lube far better than my high expectations demand. I have been using one bottle of each for over a year now and I’m still a few months away from needing any more cleaner. (CLP+ will probably last me another 2 years) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! BUY 2!

Love all the riptide products, the advanced gun cleaner and the advanced CLP+ Graphene are both top quality and excellent products, highly recommended!

Just finished shooting and let my AR and Glock sit for a day or two awaiting this arrival. The gun cleaver is great, the bottle in my opinion is nice and has an open close feature on it (love). I sprayed maybe two small pumps per area and let it soak for maybe 2-3 minutes give or take a min. Wiped off with a rag and also Q tips. Majority of the carbon came off, I was very surprised and always dreaded gun cleaning due to it take some time to efficiently clean. With this I’m actually looking forward to cleaning as this will reduce cleaning time while breaking down the carbon quickly. CLP is on the thinner side, it does its job but I would look into something w a higher viscosity but not to disregard this product. The nosel could be more sturdier or better quality but honestly it’s still not bad.

Just cleaned and lined my 1911 with this stuff. Works pretty good. I'd say I used less of it to clean than I would normally have to using other cleaners I have tried. It did the job well and my pistol is now a well oiled machine.

Im so glad I tried this product it's working out really well for me can't recommend this product enough

cleans and works great on my guns

I have use so many cleaners for my guns and I have say this is the best stuff I have ever used do not hesitate to by this product I don't give many reviews but this product deserves it
