How do you clean Don's Fat rod for 45ACP? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Hey I just shot my 45ACP and it left all kinds of dirtiness on the guide rod that I cant seem to get off. What is the best way to clean it so it looks like new, or is that even possible?

Thanks in advance.

And if the Brake Cleaner is chlorinated you can take your time and make sculptures with the plastic parts !!

Whatever you use on your bore should clean the rod. Brake Cleaner is good stuff and kills wasps too. The rod is 303 stainless, solvents are not going to hurt it.

I have been using Break-Free CLP for 6mos.
Spray it down, scrub with toothbrush, and wipe off with old jammies.
Works great.
