Armadillo ok on all inside parts?? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Just got the Blue Wonder stuff, and am wondering how some of you have been using it. Since it's a bit like car wax, I'm wondering how to apply it and buff off in the tiny areas inside slide, springs etc.

Have you completely replaced traditional oil with Armadillo on all inside parts, springs etc?

Or what is the best approach for it's use. And yes, I have read all instructions on their site. Thanks!

To be honest, I use Armadillo on the exterior of the slide, only. For lubrication, the XFR is good. I use GunButter.

Once you have a good coat of Armadillo on the slide. Go back every few weeks and add another layer. If you do it correctly, it should never get too thick or gum up.

Does this help?

+1 I was amazed how well that stuff works I usually use Hoppes for my riffles and shotguns, so I used it for my XD. Last time I had ordered a Don's Rod and Spring and figured while I was at it give the gunbutter a try, cleaned my gun and put it in the usual places and on the rails, to me it seemed like a big diffrence, as the slide was much smother even with the heavery spring in it.
