Lubricants and all in one cleaners VS single products

[Santa2512]

Toe in the water time, 

Which is better an all in one lube / cleaner   or individual products for each activity? 

I currently have a can of Napiers all in one cleaner / lubricant,  which is suppoded to clean & protect.

However, some schools of thought say to oil moving parts on the gun, noteably the hinges etc

now ive done both,  but

Is it overkill?   is one better at lubrication that the other ?  

I looked at Clenzoil, and they do the same,   an allin one lube / cleaner, and grease / oily stuff in a tub?

Do i need two. or will one suffice

Cleansing and lubricating are two totally different functions.

Technically speaking you would be better off cleaning your gun and then lubricating  the parts that rub against each other, such as ejector slides and hinge pins or action trunnions.

But of course advertising claims out date logic and sense.

Many many people neither clean or lubricate their guns and are content to accept the wear that takes place in their abuse of their guns until such time as a problem occurs and then they will change the gun.

On the sensible side of things if you clean your gun and care for it properly it will easily outlast four generations.

Clean and lubricate every time.

Napier, Liegia  and WD40 do not have good lubrication properties although they are very good for the purpose they are supplied for.

It has been a puzzle for me how the lubes in the combo things are immune to the solvents in the cleaners.  Sort of like the Universal Adhesive - how do you get the cap off the bottle?

Mr. Salopian is right on every count best as I know.

Clenzoil for my gun and some hinge pin jelly stuff for the parts that rub!

Frog lube is good.

I tend to use a Napier cleaner, terra gun bore cleaner, kitchen roll, then a paradox, pro gun oil, and schlmerfix grease on the hinge pins

For lubricating for knuckle just buy a big tub of bearing grease.it will last for years and do as good if not a better job than so called gun oils and greases.

I bought a fantastic tube of Perazzi grease which I use sparingly so it will last forever. It was over £7000! But it came with a free gun.

I suppose its one way of getting rid of their guns.
