Is the G96 Firearm Cleaner / Degreaser safe to use on polymer frames and rubber grips?

Yes, this water-based and biodegradable formula is specifically designed to be safe on modern firearm builds. It will not attack polymer components, anodized aluminum receivers, rubber O-rings, grips, or sights.

Do I need to apply a gun oil after using the G96-1088 degreaser?

Yes, because this product strips hydrocarbon oils and factory grease completely to leave a bare, oil-free surface, it provides no lubricating film or rust inhibitor. You must follow up treated metal parts with a dedicated gun oil, such as the G96 Synthetic CLP Gun Oil or G96 Synthetic CLP Gun Cleaning Oil Pin Point Oiler, to prevent oxidation.

Is this 4oz bottle suitable for removing heavy copper or lead fouling inside the barrel?

No, this product is intended for general exterior cleaning and surface degreasing rather than deep bore maintenance. For heavy copper, severe carbon bake-on, or lead fouling, a specialized chemical bore solvent like the G96 Bore Solvent Liquid should be used instead.

Does this chemical cleaner require any special electrical compliance or regulatory marks for use in Australia?

No, as a manual liquid chemical cleaner in a 4 fl. oz. bottle, it does not use mains electricity and does not require 240V compatibility or SAA/RCM regulatory marks. Its non-aerosol, water-based formula also makes it straightforward to store and handle across Australian workshops and outback properties.

Gun Degreaser - G96 G96-1088

The G96 Firearm Cleaner / Degreaser (Part Number 1088) is a water-based, biodegradable liquid designed to remove hydrocarbon oils, factory grease, organic residue, inorganic grime, and loose carbon deposits from firearm surfaces. Engineered to leave an entirely oil-free substrate without using harsh chlorinated or petroleum solvents, this non-aerosol formula prepares metal parts for chemical treatments and refinishing. Its non-corrosive chemical profile ensures material safety across modern firearm assemblies, protecting polymer frames, rubber grips, O-rings, and anodized aluminum receivers during routine maintenance and deep cleaning.

Key Features

Residue Removal: Dissolves and flushes away factory packing grease, hydrocarbon lubricants, and loose carbon buildup without leaving a film.
Refinishing Preparation: Strips metal bare of all oils and contaminates to create a clean surface suitable for re-blueing, ceramic coatings, or protective paint application.
Safe Chemical Profile: Water-based, biodegradable formula does not damage synthetic stocks, polymer furniture, rubber components, sights, or modern firearm finishes.
Non-Aerosol Liquid Formula: Supplied in a compact bottle for controlled bench application and straightforward transport across Australian states without pressurized gas hazards.
Universal Firearm Compatibility: Suitable for external actions, receivers, trigger groups, and components across all rifle, shotgun, and handgun calibres.

Who is the G96 Firearm Cleaner / Degreaser for?

Gunsmiths preparing firearm surfaces for re-blueing or refinishing — Requires a completely bare, hydrocarbon-free substrate across metal parts, which this 4 fl. oz. (~118 ml) firearm cleaner degreaser achieves by stripping away all underlying oils without leaving chemical film.
Shooters cleaning polymer-framed handguns and modern rifles — Benefits from a compact 1.55 in × 1.55 in × 5.85 in bottle of firearm degreaser that safely flushes away grime and action oils without degrading synthetic furniture, rubber grips, or anodized finishes.

Less suitable for: Removing heavy copper fouling, severe carbon bake-on, or lead deposits inside the barrel, where specialized chemical bore solvents are required, or for final metal storage where dedicated rust-inhibiting gun oils are necessary because this degreaser strips all protective lubrication completely.
