It replaced both bore cleaner and gun oil and shortened weapon cleaning time tremendously. I'm new to armor and swords, but knew immediately that CLP would be what I'll be using.

Breakfree is the company that produced CLP until it was bought out by Safariland.

Beat me to it :)
Sir Martyn:
Oh this is excellent - I have to get some CLP and Eagle One tomorrow - can I get both at Wal-Mart or would a gun shop be a better bet?
I used paste wax after RenFaire on my plate harness and it seems to be holding up fine, but I'm concerned about the inside surfaces as well where the protective paint on the unpolished surfaces has scatted/worn off. And then there are the swords....
Don Jorge:
Which CLP type do you use? I found all types CLP - 4 and CLP - 5? It seems like it comes in different forms...does it matter? Which produces the least mess...also is CLP okay for indoor use or should I take my armor out to the balcony?

Sorry, missed this one before. CLP I have only found at gun store. RemOil can be found at Walmart in the gun section, and I've used it a year or two now without trouble.
I used spray-on truck bed liner on my inner surfaces. When it wears off, clean the rust and respray it. I'd say no more than a year or two - the surfaces getting worn off are being rubbed off, and as long as that continues, it will rub itself clean with usage. Maybe paint it at the end of the season if it's bad enough.

Breakfree CLP, it's owned by a new company (Safari). I've seen a number of different numbers tagged after the CLP part but never seen any functional difference between them, always just referred to as CLP. Spray is the only form I've ever seen.
It smells, so, I'd do it outside, unless you like the smell, in which case, use it indoors .... then toss out your deodorant and just give yourself a nice little oil coating - sweat will just slide right off!
Don Jorge:
So aerosol is fine? I have seen liquid and aerosol...
