Anyone heard of or used Gun-Max?

I try to support the new-ish gun store in my area; one that is within walking distance...for a younger, normal person. I picked up a can of this cleaner/lube called Gun-Max. It seems more like a lube / protectant than a cleaner. I was curious if anyone hear had heard of it.


I've always had an issue with products that claim to be both a cleaner and a lubricant/oil. To me, if a product is corrosive enough to remove the crud from firearm usage, then it really would not have the lubrication properties that you would want for the moving parts and barrel. I'm probably wrong, but I'm used to that. Just ask the spouse.

Real Avid is an AR supply company. I've heard about them but don't know anything about them.

I don't generally "clean" my working guns. At least not blasting them with solvent. I might run a nylon brush with Hoppe's #9 down the bore, then a q-tip with 9 on it on anything else that needs attention. Then wipe with a rag and blow with compressed air. Then a couple drops of RemOil where needed. I also have RemOil spray that I might use once a year when I remember I have it. I'll usually just let gravity pull a drop of oil where it is needed.

I got this stuff for the initial out-of-the-box cleaning for the .22, but I may go with some Shooter Lube solvent that I have in the tool box. Then I might try the Gun-Max for the finishing touches. I guess the .22's get dirty quicker due to the ammo so we'll see. I'm normally not one to get carried away with gun cleaning. Less is more & all that.
