Jackson Rose, SASS #45478 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I have one that is 20 years old. I spray it with more silicone now and then. It is getting a little worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Fill 'Em 67797 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I carry one in my guncart to wipe my guns down when I'm finished shooting. I spray some Break-Free on it once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Might want to try a shop rag with Eezox on it - Lubricant-Cleaner and Rust Preventative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I get a new one every so often for one of 2 reasons... 1. I lost the old one. 2. I forgot to put it back in the bag and it dried out. Reason 2 gives me a buncha nice soft rags. I've never actually worn one of the things out.

Big Jake1001 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I have a Hoppe's #9 Silicone Cloth that I bought in 1974.It is kept in the original ZIP-LOCK bag. It still works well. I got another brand in 1990 and it seems dried out already. Just sayin' Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouchy Greg, SASS#71981 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I've been using them since the mid 1960's. I'm currently on my third one. I've got #4 ready to go if #3 ever wears out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
