Asking forgiveness in advance if this topic has already been addressed (I failed to find it doing a text search), however...
Has anyone used Frog Lube on their firearms, particularly semiautos? I'm giving serious thought to transitioning to a non-petrochemical, environmentally friendly cleaning and lubrication product, and this one seems to be rated highly in most quarters.
Your thoughts and experiences with Frog Lube or similar products is valued and appreciated.

I've had some local folks use it a lot & seem to really enjoy it. Well, a local SMALL dealer visited my range as a guest & he left me a complete kit to try. I haven't used it yet,,, but I'm planning on trying it out.

From what I can gather, you first completely degrease the field stripped metal parts using the Frog Lube degreaser or something like alcohol, then heat them somewhat with a hair dryer or a heat lamp, then brush on the Frog Lube paste, let it stand a bit and wipe it down.
I don't know, but assume the liquid is used for routine cleaning, maintenance and lubrication.

I have been using it on my autos rails and feed ramps. I can feel the difference its very slick. I did clean degrease and then heat the guns. I just used frog lube on the internals of a Smith model of 1988 that I shoot double action as with the autos I removed all old lubricants so far so good I want to see how long it lasts.
Some people suggest using frog lube in the cylinders or chambers I would not lubricate these areas.

I had some given to me last year, both the paste & liquid. I haven't tried the liquid yet but have used the paste on a couple 1911's for about 6-weeks, which entailed shooting 100/150 rounds per session, 3 or 4 sessions per week.
I found that Frog Lube smells good but I found no difference between Frog Lube and Mobil 1 synthetic bearing grease, Jardine's Extreme grease, lubriplate grease and the other excellent greases on the market relative to clean-up, performance & protection.
It does a good job and smells good doing it ;D
I don't use it anymore, as it just didn't feel right to have a ladies hair dryer on my work bench or in one of my hands holding the slide or frame of a 1911 in the other - I have never blow-dried my hair, so I had to check my boxer shorts for lace each night I used Frog Lube just to make sure something wasn't happening that I wasn't aware of ;D
