At Clenzoil, we constantly receive questions from our World Wide users on how to “best” use our products. Sometimes we receive suggestions or comments from you...the user, on new uses for Clenzoil, or just positive feedback on how great it works! Many times, our Research & Development Staff feels that some of these E-mails (as well as the calls we receive) should be “shared,” with our users....as a lot of good information is exchanged.
Feel free to share any of your questions, comments or ideas with us here at Clenzoil...and we’ll be sure to pass them along to the Clenzoil World Wide Family!
Q: I have a pretty extensive custom (handmade) knife collection that has some very high valued knives in it. Many of these knives have handles made out of some rather exotic natural materials such as different types of animal bone and some very rare woods. I have been searching for years for a product that can protect and nurture both the blades and the handles. A gunsmith told me to try your product Clenzoil. Do I need to worry about using your product on any part of my knives?
Gerry M. King - Portland, Oregon
A: Gerry, let me first tell you that the majority of us at Clenzoil spend a lot of time in the "outdoors," and whether we are hunting, fishing or camping, we all agree that a good knife is an essential piece of equipment to have with you. Whether your knives are collector/ investment works of art or they are hard working "field" blades...a regular coating of Clenzoil is just what the Doctor ordered! In fact, many noted Custom Knife makers like Ken Davis will tell you that all of his handmade knives are treated both during the manufacturing process as well as before they are sent out to the customer with Clenzoil. We like to say..." the proof is in the pudding," or in this case...the Clenzoil bottle!
Clenzoil Management
Q: 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?
Paul Henderson, Indianapolis Indiana
A: 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.

Q: Will Clenzoil damage my synthetic stock if it is exposed to it accidentally?
Richard Keene, Johnson City Tennessee
A: Richard, Clenzoil will not harm a synthetic stock...whether it be fiberglass, kevlar or carbon fiber. However, we would not recommend you applying it to an enamel painted surface as it may actually "clean," the paint off of the material it is applied to.

Q: Is it alright for me to apply Clenzoil to the outboard motor on my boat? I thought that since it is such an excellent rust preventative that it would work great on an engine used in a saltwater enviroment.
Chris Ochs, Clearwater Florida
A: Chris, Clenzoil works great on virtually any marine application. In fact, many of us here at Clenzoil have used it on our boats for years. What makes it so much better as a engine protectant is that unlike most engine "dressings," it is not sticky...so saltwater nor salt in the air will adhere to it. Also, each time you apply it...the engine surface is "cleaned," of any contaminants that may have worked their way under your engine cowling.

Q: I’ve been using Clenzoil to clean my center fire rifles and handguns for some time now, however, I just got into the black powder hunting scene. Will my Clenzoil work well on cleaning my new muzzleloader?
Jason Beaver - Branson Missouri
A: Jason, more and more hunters are entering the “black powder,” hunting season...and for good reason. It extends your time in the woods and generally gives you a “jump” on game not getting the rifle season “spooks.” However, by using Clenzoil to clean your muzzleloader, you won’t be extending your “smokepole,” cleaning time. Many industry experts consider Clenzoil to be the ultimate cleaning solution for muzzleloaders. We suggest that you work a well saturated patch through the bore of the rifle and then leave the muzzleloader alone for 10-20 minutes. You will find that giving the Clenzoil solution time to do the work for you will make the rest of your cleaning job easier. After the initial treatment period you can then do your normal bronze brush, saturated patch cleaning regimen. What really makes Clenzoil great for muzzleloaders is that it actually helps to condition the bore over time so that it will stay cleaner the more you use it and it helps to keep rust (a major muzzleloader problem) at bay!

Q: I hunt in an extremely cold weather environment. I’ve noticed that my rifle trigger stays “crisp” and the bolt still seems “slick,” even when the temperature dips below 0 degrees. What makes Clenzoil a better lubricant for areas that will regularly get down to such extreme temperatures, as opposed to some of the new so called “high-tech” lubricants?
Kevin Kincaid - Upper Peninsula Michigan
A: Kevin, unlike a lot of products that use silicone or Teflon ingredients, Clenzoil doesn’t use any chemicals that can get “snotty,” or change consistency in temperature extremes. Trust us...you’ll “quit,” the cold weather hunt...long before Clenzoil will quit you!
Clenzoil Field Staff
Q: Can I use Clenzoil on my “high-end,” saltwater reels?
Craig Lariz - Key West Florida
A: Craig, the short answer is...Absolutely! Don’t let the bottle fool you. Just because it has a shotgun on the label doesn’t mean you can’t use it on other outdoor gear. In fact, hundreds of Professional Fishing Guides around the world have been using Clenzoil for decades. We suggest you pull the reel apart and add a few drops of Clenzoil on the gears and spindle for mid season tune ups. However, many Professional Fishing Guides at the end of each season will unspool the reel and then give it a complete soaking in a gallon of Clenzoil for the ultimate saltwater reel protection!

Q: Many times I have accidentally gotten Clenzoil on the wooden stock of my rifle while cleaning it. Do I need to worry about the hand-rubbed finish on my stock being affected by continued exposure to Clenzoil?
Max Williams - Atlanta Georgia
A: Max, believe it or not...your stock will love you for “exposing,” it to Clenzoil. The ingredients that make up Clenzoil are a Trademarked secret. However, we will tell you that some of the components are specifically designed to nurture and replenish the natural oils and minerals that wood and leather require to stay strong and beautiful...for decades and decades. In fact, you’ll find that your wood stocks and leather slings will develop a natural “patina,” that enhances the look of your stock and sling, helps to protect them from the elements and keeps the metal work attached to them from rusting as well.

Q: Hello - My name is Kyle Schawel and I have used a lot of your oil in the past. I talked to you on the phone (the owner) last year about uses for tool and die. My dad has been in the tool and die industry since he was 17 years old. I have turned many friends on to your product and they love it.
I have one favor to ask you. Can you send me any promotional items such as stickers, hats or tee-shirts? I would love a black tee-shirt in XL (or XXL if all cotton). Thanks for your help and good luck and love your product.
Kyle Schawel - Sleepy Hollow, IL
A: Kyle, we are very happy to hear that you and your father are great fans of Clenzoil. You might want to let your Dad know that we have a Division of Clenzoil specifically known as the Clenzoil Machine & Tool Division. We sell a version of Clenzoil that is manufactured for use in the machine, tool and die and industrial sector that can be purchased in 1 gallon, 5 gallon and 55 gallon drums. In fact, we can produce it in almost any amount that you may need it. The Machine & Tool Clenzoil product is made to work in the extreme enviroments often associated with the manufacturing industry. Many of the properties that Clenzoil demonstrates is considered ideal for the tool and die industry. Regarding your question about what promotional items we have for Clenzoil...let me just say that in the next couple of weeks we will be offering some really "cool" hats, visors and shirts for sale in our E-Commerce Store on this web site. However, since you asked so nicely (and just this one time) ....keep and eye out in your mail box and we'll see what we can do! Thanks for your continued support.
