Wipe-Out ™ is simple to apply. Put the gun in a cradle or rest horizontally. Apply the product to the muzzle with your finger loosely in the chamber. Shake the can very well before applying. Push the muzzle adapter tight against the muzzle. Count one -thousand one, one- thousand two, and that should be it. You will feel the product on your finger. When the barrel is full a small amount will be present in the chamber…….it needs cleaning too. The next part is the best. Walk away! No brushing! In 60 minutes you return and push a good cotton patch through the barrel. Make sure you have a caliber specific jag. This assures a tight fit, and guarantees cleaning to the very bottom of the grooves.
BREECH APPLICATION FOR LARGE CALIBERS
Slide a soda straw on the can spout after you remove the black adapter. Then slide the black adapter on the straw, with the adapter pointed forwards. (Like a Cone) This method is used when you are applying Wipe-Out to rifles larger than 30 caliber. The cone will block the chamber allowing you to push the straw into the neck of the chamber.
WIPE-OUT™ tells you when your firearm is fouled with powder residue, carbon, and metal fouling by the color left on a patch.
Simply apply the Wipe-Out ™ to the muzzle or to the chamber( with the use of a bore guide) until it is full. You may remove the muzzle adapter and put a plastic soda straw (Mc Donald’s is just the right size) on the can spout, if you choose to apply to a bore guide, or if you have a muzzle brake.
Set the firearm on the bench horizontally. Let it sit for 60 minutes.
After 60 minutes has elapsed, put a clean cotton patch on a jag and push through the bore.
The color on the patch will tell you what to do next.
Powder fouling (both smokeless powder and black powder) will be grayish black on the patch.
Copper fouling will be deep navy blue.
(Note the blue stain on the patch and on the product dripping off the muzzle)
Carbon will be tannish to brown in color.
Please be aware that large amounts of fouling on a very dirty firearm can build up in layers.
IF THERE IS NO COLOR ON THE PATCH……….THE FIREARM IS CLEAN.
IF THERE IS ANY COLOR ON THE PATCH: Apply the Wipe-Out ™ again to the barrel.
If the first patch showed all three colors, the gun is heavily fouled. Let the gun set for 60 minutes or more, overnight is best. Wipe-Out ™ will continue to work for 24 to 36 hours.
Wipe-Out ™ was formulated for long term soaking, to absolutely remove the most stubborn fouling.
Push a clean patch through the bore. If there is still color on the patch re-apply and let set for a longer period of time. A very heavily fouled gun may take several overnight sessions, until no color shows on a patch.
A PATCH WITH NO EVIDENCE OF COLOR IS EVIDENCE OF A CLEAN FIREARM.
Deep navy blue on a patch is evidence of heavy copper fouling.
In cases where the firearm has not been properly cleaned, or when it has been shot quite a number of times Wipe-Out ™may be applied and the gun left to set overnight.
Patch out the bore in the morning, as usual.
Re-apply Wipe-Out ™, and let firearm set 60 minutes. There should be no evidence of color.
Remember always let the firearm rest horizontally……never muzzle-up when using WIPE-OUT™.
Finally technology allows us to accomplish a really clean bore with only simple soaking.
Removal of metal fouling and carbon along with powder fouling will restore accuracy to unclean firearms.
We have found many firearms that were thought to be “shot-out” and with proper cleaning were put back into good working condition.
