Does anyone know a good or better than alternative to brownells WDO? It’s rarely in stock for some reason.

Anyone used CRC- 6-56 before?
Du-lites WDO?

Me too. I use it all the time. I have gallons of the stuff. Mainly use it for cleaning & polishing. It’s just not what I’m looking for in this application. The main ingredient of Wd being naphtha, it has always made a great cleaner for shotgun barrels.

For decades I have purchased WD-40 in one gallon cans and used in for untold purposes. I have seen videos of numerous places in Europe and there is a can of WD-40 on the work benches.

Your comment that people make fun of it reminds me of what I saw of another product that is made fun of---the Asian 7 inch metal lathes. For those of you who have the video "A LOOK INSIDE HOLLAND % HOLLAND you will see one of the 7 inch Asian lathes on one of the craftsmen's work bench--it is apparently his personal lathe.

LPS 1, 2, or 3. I have the most experience with 2.

WD40 seemed to be one of the first casualties of the internet to "alternative facts". It works fine. WD stands for water displacement as I understand it, and I use it for that purpose with great success when cleaning all guns but particularly blackpowder guns that are cleaned with dihydrogen oxide first.

I understand. You need a product with higher film strength and durability.
