I had used the Urban Mirage White duracoat on the slide of a Springfield xd9mm, and was really proud of it.
I used Bore Tech Inc. "Moly Magic" to clean the barrel, and some got on the slide. The duracoat peeled off like latex paint and paint stripper. It was actually kind of amazing.
I literally used my fingernail to remove it.
My firearm was all urban mirage white, now it is urban mirage white, with a steel slide (yuck). I'm not really writing this to complain, although I don't know what to do with this abomination now, but more so to let you know that this product [moly magic] is disasterous on duracoat. It didn't seem to affect the bond with the polymer frame, but it did seem to affect the duracoat on surfaces on the stainless that were rough, wheere I figured I would have better adhesion.
The Moly Magic works great for cleaning out residue from coated lead bullets, though.
Bummer.
