For years I have been wiping my pistols down after cleaning and lubing with Simple Green. I like to have the outside dry and oil free. It cleans Hogue grips real well and leaves them soft and grippy, like new. Also I like the sassafras smell better than Hoppe's or Break Free. My wife prefers her carry piece to smell like sassafras instead of a chemical also.
I've never tried to clean the insides with SG. I don't like the idea of a water based cleaner. I worry about leaving a water residue behind. I "blow dry" my guns with compressed air and it seem like residue from Hoppe's never stops comming out of places, but I don''t worry about that because it is a rust inhibitor and lubricant. I guess I could try SG for the insides, but I would have to follow it with something that displaces water and lubricates.
I might give it a try. I use SG to clean lots of things. I like the smell of it.
Then there are the guys who run thier Glocks thru the dish washer......
