I've been using Rem Oil for day to day cleaning and wipe-down. It's handy in the aerosol cans. I spray it down the barrels and run a fuzzy wand with a bronze brush at the tip down the bores at the range. When I get home, I wipe the gun down again and put it away. I don't own anything I worry my methods will damage. I take almost all my guns in the field and hunt with them. They pick up some nicks and dings and scratches even though I try to prevent it. I'm sure I'm abusing them to some people, but I don't plan to quit the abuse.
