Breakthrough Clean Military Grade Solvent 6 oz Pump Spray Review

The Breakthrough Clean Military Grade Solvent 6 oz Pump Spray Made a Bold First Impression

Gun maintenance is a crucial part of responsible firearm ownership. Dirty firearms malfunction, lose accuracy, and can even become unsafe. I was on the hunt for a solvent that could thoroughly clean my firearms without damaging their finishes or exposing me to harsh chemicals. The Breakthrough Clean Military Grade Solvent 6 oz Pump Spray caught my eye with its promise of being odorless, non-staining, and safe for various firearm materials.

Like many gun owners, I’ve struggled to find a solvent that truly balances effectiveness and safety. The strong chemical smells of some cleaners were overwhelming and concerning, especially when cleaning indoors. I’ve used Hoppe’s No. 9 for years, but the lingering odor and potential for damage to certain finishes always worried me. Ballistol is another option, but its oily residue can sometimes be a pain to remove. I chose the Breakthrough Clean Military Grade Solvent 6 oz Pump Spray for its promise of powerful cleaning without the drawbacks of harsh chemicals and lingering residue.

The Breakthrough Clean Military Grade Solvent 6 oz Pump Spray arrived in a simple, no-frills package. The 6 oz pump spray bottle felt sturdy and well-made. Initial impressions were positive; the solvent itself was indeed odorless, a huge plus. I was eager to test its cleaning abilities on my AR-15, which had recently seen some heavy use at a dusty range. My first impression was, “This could be the answer to my gun-cleaning prayers.”
