OP Skybuster Boxlock Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 5 Hamlin, NY	What chemicals and cleaners should be used or avoided when caring for case colors? I make the mistake of using full strength Simple Green if softened the case colors on a gun. I've used brake cleaner to remove heavy gummed up oil/grease with no issues. If I have a tight locked up gun that won't budge I'll soak it in 50/50 ATF and acetone. Will that be a problem for case colors?
