My son is on his second tour of Iraq for the US Marine Corp. During his first tour, he said that he (and the other Marines in his unit) had trouble keeping their weapons from jamming due to the sand and heat. At one point, most of them were cleaning their weapons with kerosene and then firing them "dry," with no lubrication at all. When he rotated back on his second tour, he decided to take with him some Clenzoil...which we use at home for cleaning guns during hunting season. He said that the product works great in that enviroment! They clean their weapons with the Clenzoil, then "treat," the bolt and trigger mechanism with a very light coating of Clenzoil and it works better than advertised....even in 130F degree heat! 

My question is what makes Clenzoil so different than everything else on the market and why doesn't the US military issue it as their standard CLP? 

Answer

Paul, first let us say, "...Thank You and God Bless You," to your son for his courage and sacrifice that he must exhibit on a daily basis, to ensure our freedom and safety. To answer your question about what makes Clenzoil so different, let's just say that any product that has almost 60 years of ongoing Research & Development behind it has probably been tested against almost every enviromental extreme you can throw at it. Clenzoil is different than everything else on the market and we have thousands and thousands of customers who will attest to that...including many US and foreign military units all over the world.
