What is a good aerosol cleaner that is safe on the frame? I use Powder Blast on the slide; however, I've been told that it will eat into the plastic.

I use either Hoppes No.9 or Outers Nitro Solvent in aerosol cans. Give the innards a good spray, brush what you can reach with an M-16 brush (or toothebrush), give it another good spray to flush it out and blow it out with canned "air" like what you use on your computer.

Breakfree CLP will work fine and safely.

I find Mineral Spirits works great on everything but the bore.
The best thing about it is that it actually dries without an oily residue. And it won't harm plastic.

I use Polymer safe degreaser, from Shooters Choice. It works for me pretty good. I also use thier lubes and grease.

I use MPro 7 in the pump spray bottle. It is water based so there are no odors associated with petrolium based products. This stuff works great!
