I keep a small cotton rag dampened with CLP in my cleaning kit, inside of a ziplock bag.

1 Windex bottle full should last a long time. I run between 500 and 2000 rounds a month between 6 guns, and clean them after every shoot religously. 1 bottle lasts 5-6 months.

If it stinks too much on a cleaned gun, or gums up (????? - never seen it gum up!), me suspects yer usin too much.

I don't bother with Hoppe's unless I've let the gun set awhile before I clean it (over a week).
