CLP is junk for any type of cleaning...too thick and very light on any rust breaking abiltiy. I use it for little of nothing ...it's that useless.
The best rust buster for your needs is KROIL ( kanolabs.com ) used in conjuction with 3 or 4 ought steel wool and a nylon bristle brush. Scrub & flush method ( with Kroil ) to keep any rust particulate from being ground into any remaining finish underneath .
CLP is so snotty thick in comparison it leaves anything that has been broken loose sitting there with it's uselessly thick viscosity. I still cringe when I think of cleaning machineguns and M16's with that crap while I was a grunt !. I did manage to befriend the supply puke and get gallon cans of RBC...that cleaned !. And I used the CLP for post assembly wipedowns...and even then it was marginal at that too.

I too have heard negative comments about BreakFree......Leaves a type of film on gun metal surfaces.....Some seem to like it, while others not.....Bodes

For light surface rust I use G96 gun treatment and #0000 steel wool. Apply oil and let it sit for 10-15 minutes then rub with steel wool, then wipe with a clean rag. Repeat as needed. I've never had any of the blueing come off.

I agree with Jack,I use to work in a gunshop and the owner was a big believer in the stuff. I have bought it at gunshows and have seen it for sale at area Dunhams Sporting goods stores. Besides that the stuff smells great.
