- Shooting Industry January 1988, "Finally, a Total Gun Cleaner Product for the Gunsmith"
- article by William Schumaker (view article)
Most gun cleaning solvents and oils should not be applied to gunstocks.
Prolix Total Gun Care has broken this barrier.
It is also excellent for cleaning and lubricating semi-automatic rifles and pistols,
as well as other working mechanisms.
It has proven to be excellent for cleaning and lubricating electronic mechanisms, too.

I've . . . found it to be a good all-around cleaner and lubricant.
Prolix has been formulated to clean a gun and leave the optimum amount of retained
lubricant.

- American Handgunner July/August 1990 "Prolix Lube" article by Dave Anderson
- (view article)
One of the most useful cleaner/lubricant/preservative products I've found is
called "Prolix."
I disassembled my Dillon 550, cleaned and lubed it with Prolix, and after
reassembly found it worked more smoothly and with less effort than ever before.
And, I could load twice as many rounds as before without the need for cleaning!

- Glock: The New Wave In Combat Handguns by Peter Alan Kalser (Paladin Press, 1992)
- (view book cover and page)
There is a substance, specifically for firearms, designed to avoid the problems
associated with petroleum-based products . . . . That substance is called Prolix.
Prolix cleans gun parts amazingly easily and thoroughly, then leaves an optimum
amount of lubricant and a "dry to the touch" protective film.

- Gun Cleaning by Chuck Hawks
Prolix total gun care product is a proprietary cleaner, lubricant, and preservative
that can replace both traditional powder solvent and gun oil. I use Prolix on all of
my handguns. It comes in 16 ounce plastic bottles with "trigger squeeze" tops, or
bulk jugs. Prolix is a one step gun cleaner that will not harm wooden grips, but you
should test it on plastics before use. (It does not attack the polymer used in Glock
pistols.) I first read about Prolix in Peter Kasler's book GLOCK: The New Wave in
Combat Handguns. Prolix is the chosen cleaning product of Glock armorers. It contains
industrial grade solvents that penetrate and remove fouling.
I spray Prolix down the barrel and through the cylinder chambers to remove fouling,
let it sit for a short time, and clean the gun as I would if using a normal powder
solvent. Prolix is the only cleaner/lubricant I will spray into an action. After
cleaning, wipe off all the Prolix you can. Prolix has a dry solid lubricant/protectant
base that leaves a residue at the molecular level on gun parts that is very long lasting.
It completely eliminates the use of gun oil.
If you use Prolix to clean and lubricate, and a silicone cloth to wipe down, you can
omit gun oil altogether and your guns will be better for it.

I don't use bronze brushes on my cast-bullet barrels. I just use Prolix . . .
In fact I use Prolix exclusively on my nickel-plated firearms.

Wow! . . . the shotgun especially has been a bear to clean. Not this time!
I am one happy cleaner. I'd love to have a little more guidance on using
PrOlix/XTRA-T since I love it and intend to use nothing else!

Thanks for an Amazing Product!
. . . just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for everything and tell you
how completely impressed I am with your product. I received my order today
and after shooting, proceeded to clean my Sig P225 with Prolix. I used a
polypropylene container to make a small dunk tank, field stripped the Sig,
and soaked it in about 1/2 gallon of Prolix for about 1/2 an hour. WOW!!!
My gun is now cleaner than it ever has been since it was new, and maybe even
cleaner than that. All the parts, grips included, are cleaned and
conditioned perfectly. Just a little Xtra-T lube on the slide rails and I'm
ready to go. When I was done I filtered the Prolix back into the gallon jug
using a funnel, cheesecloth and a coffee filter for good measure. I was
absolutely amazed at the dirt and debris that was left in the bottom of the
tank and in the filter when I was done. The amount of dirt and filth that
Prolix removed was astounding! I thought I was keeping my gun clean, and
spent lots of time cleaning it in the past, but obviously Prolix has raised
the bar to an entirely higher level of cleanliness and protection for my
firearms. Your product is awesome, I will NEVER use anything other than
Prolix on my guns, this stuff is amazing.
Thanks again!

- In response to a question about how to clean a nickel-plated gun if copper removers used to clean the barrel will remove nick-plated finishes, Guns Magazine editor Jeff Johns replied:
-
Soaking a gun in any of the available copper solvents with ammonia in them
can destroy a nickel finish. Nickel plate doesn't bond well to steel and
is layered over a copper under plate. Given a chance, the bore solvents
attack the copper underneath, lifting the nickel.
I use Prolix on my nickel-plated guns and generally use it to clean all my
cast bullet and .22 LR guns, plated or not. Prolix on a tight patch often
will lift lead right out of the grooves, too, without resorting to a bore
brush, although stubbon deposits may require a brush.
I don't like to tempt Murphy, so when I clean copper fouling from a nickel-
plated firearm's barrel, I use a 1-caliber undersize bore brush wrapped with
a patch covered with J-B Bore Paste and squirted with Prolix.

Just a note of thanks...This stuff is awesome! I picked up a small
ultrasonic cleaner (holds 1 pint) and works great on auto barrels, trigger
assemblies and small parts...the crud falls off even before I turn the
machine on. Just bought an AK-47 and used PrOlix to cleanup on initial field
strip and end result was simply amazing...adding no other lubrication, the
firearm felt so much smoother to operate than before...again amazing!
I'm truly impressed and will be a returning customer and also bragging about
PrOlix to my shooting buddies.
Again, great product and thanks!

Prolix works as advertised. It removes “gunk” of all kinds from firearms,
on the interior and exterior surfaces, without any offensive odors or fumes.
It even removes Cosmolene easily and quickly.
Based upon my experience with Prolix, I’d recommend it for cleaning and protecting
your guns. It cleans bores as well as the exterior of guns, without harm to the
existing finish and it's safe for the environment.
