Carbon fouling builds up fast when you're running rounds downrange, and it's one of the toughest cleaning challenges in firearms maintenance. The Slip 2000 32 oz Carbon Killer is a specialized solvent designed to break down stubborn carbon deposits on bolts, cylinder faces, actions, muzzle brakes, and all those hard-to-reach spots that standard bore cleaners miss. Whether you're deep-cleaning an AR after a heavy range day or breaking down a revolver after magnum loads, this parts bath works as a soak or pairs with brushes and mops for targeted scrubbing.
What sets it apart is the formula itself: it's non-toxic and biodegradable without relying on harsh, acrid chemicals that leave your shop smelling like a industrial plant. The citrus scent is a welcome change from the traditional solvents, and there's no flammability hazard to manage. Just soak fouled parts for 5 to 10 minutes, then wipe or brush them clean. The 32 oz size is large enough for regular use and multiple cleanings, and the plastic container is built for easy storage and reuse between sessions.
This is a solvent-only product, so follow up with a quality rust preventative oil once you've finished cleaning for complete protection. As with any cleaning product, check the manufacturer's guidance on wood finishes, paint, anodizing, and bluing before application to avoid unintended damage.
