I use a Tico Tool from Outers to do most of my initial cleaning. Works great, I guess similar to a Bore Snake, prior to leaving the field or range. Every so often my guns all get a detailed cleaning with bronze brushes, blue O'Rielly Auto paper shop towels and Breakfree CLP. Kinda gotten away from Frog Lube as I found it a little stiff initially in cooler weather.
