🔧 Gun Care Without Compromise

The Complete UWOIL System: Bore Cleaning → Degreasing → Lubrication & Protection

Proper firearm maintenance is not “once per season,” but a ritual after every shooting session and before long-term storage. Powder fouling, copper/lead, moisture, and old oils accelerate wear, open up groups, and provoke corrosion.
The 
UWOIL system covers the full cycle of care:
chemical bore cleaning → degreasing → 3-in-1 oil for cleaning, lubrication, and preservation.

📝 Standard Post-Shooting Procedure (5 Steps)

  1. Safety first. Unload, visually/tactically check chamber & magazine. Let the weapon cool down.
  2. Rough dirt removal. Brush/patches to clear sand & debris.
  3. Chemical bore cleaning (UWOIL Cleaner).
    • Light fouling — soaked patch, several passes, then dry patch.
    • Heavy fouling — fill bore, plug ends, leave 8–10 h, then wipe dry.
  4. Degreasing metal (UWOIL Degreaser). Fast evaporation removes dissolved residues & old oils, preparing surfaces for fresh film.
  5. Protection & working lubrication (UWOIL-74 Oil 3-in-1). Thin film on bore, bolt, rails, trigger group. Wipe excess with dry cloth.

⚠️ Note: Bore chemicals are for the inside only. If it contacts bluing — wash with water, dry, cover with a thin oil layer.

📦 How to Choose Packaging Format

  • 100 ml — personal kit, field trips, minimal volume for pouches.
  • 250 ml (mini-trigger/bottle) — shooting clubs, regular practice, convenient dosing.
  • 500 ml — workshops, ranges, multi-gun collections.
  • 5 L — shooting clubs, military units, volunteer supplies, service areas.

🧴 UWOIL Product Line

1) Bore Cleaner (UWOIL Cleaner)
What it does: instantly dissolves carbon/powder fouling, copper, brass, zinc, lead; neutralizes corrosive residues; safe for steel.

  • 100 ml — personal bottle for regular use.
  • 250 ml — best balance of price/volume for active shooters.
  • 5 L — canister for arsenals & clubs.
    Use: light fouling — patch/swab; heavy — fill 8–10 h, then dry patch, always follow with UWOIL-74 Oil.
    Composition (generalized): glycol ethers, ammonia/monoethanolamine, chelating agents (EDTA), PEG, purified water.
    Conditions: +3…+35 °C, do not freeze, use PPE (gloves/goggles).

2) Gun Degreaser (UWOIL Degreaser)
What it does: displaces moisture, dissolves & lifts old oils, dirt; evaporates fast, improves adhesion of fresh oil, slows corrosion.

  • 100 ml — pocket bottle for field kit.
  • 250 ml — working volume for clubs/workshops.
  • 5 L — service & range use.
    Composition (generalized): organic solvent, isopropanol, limonene (improves penetration).
    Conditions: −15…+35 °C, ventilation required, PPE.

3) Universal Gun Oil UWOIL-74 (3-in-1)
What it does: cleans light fouling, lubricates moving parts, preserves metal against rust; highly penetrative; free from ammonia/silicone/chlorinated hydrocarbons; ash content <0.005% (meets Armed Forces requirements).

  • 100 ml bottle or 100 ml spray (non-aerosol) — precise spot use.
  • 250 ml mini-trigger — fast coverage for rails/assemblies.
  • 500 ml mini-trigger — for armories/workshops.
  • 5 L — canister for arsenals & clubs.
    Composition (generalized): mineral base + functional additives (esters, fatty acids, alcohols, antioxidants).
    Conditions: −20…+50 °C, humidity ≤ 90%.

🗂 Quick Product Cards

  • UWOIL Cleaner (100 / 250 / 5 L) — Removes fouling, copper/lead/brass/zinc • Safe for steel • Deep penetration.
  • UWOIL Degreaser (100 / 250 / 5 L) — Removes oils/dirt/moisture • Dries fast, no residue • Prepares for oil layer.
  • UWOIL-74 Oil 3-in-1 (100 ml bottle/spray, 250 ml trigger, 500 ml trigger, 5 L) — Cleans light fouling • Lubricates mechanisms • Preserves against rust • Ash content <0.005% • No silicone/ammonia/CHCs.

🔄 Typical Maintenance Scenarios

  • After 50–150 rounds (training): quick bore clean (Cleaner → Degreaser → Oil-74).
  • After heavy “copper fouling” or hot series: soak with Cleaner 8–10 h → Degreaser → Oil-74.
  • Before long storage: thorough degreasing, thin Oil-74 conservation film, monthly check.
  • Rain/condensation/frost: immediate Degreaser (removes water/oils) → Oil-74.
  • Club/unit workflow: line tech process — 5 L Cleaner / 5 L Degreaser / 5 L Oil-74 in service stations.

⚠️ Common Mistakes (and How to Avoid)

  • Applying bore cleaner on external blued parts. Only inside the bore; if spilled — wash, dry, cover with oil.
  • Skipping degreasing. Fresh oil on “dirty” surfaces reduces protection & service life.
  • Excess oiling. A “wet” mechanism attracts abrasives, heavy film harms reliability. Only a thin, even layer.
  • Storing in damp safes. Control humidity/ventilation, check periodically, refresh Oil-74 film.

🛡 Safety & Workspace

  • Use in ventilated areas/outdoors, wear gloves & goggles.
  • Do not mix different chemicals in one container.
  • Keep out of children’s reach, do not freeze Cleaner/Degreaser.
  • Follow storage temperatures indicated on labels.

FAQ

Do I need all three products?
Yes. They complement each other: Cleaner removes heavy fouling, Degreaser preps clean metal, Oil-74 lubricates & preserves.

How often to do a “deep soak clean”?
During intensive training — when accuracy drops or copper fouling builds up (hundreds of rounds, depending on barrel/ammo).

Is the 100 ml spray an aerosol?
No. It’s a pump sprayer for controlled application without propellants.

Conclusion

The UWOIL system is a complete professional cycle: from “remove fouling & copper” to “ready for duty/storage.”
Choose the right format for your needs and follow the simple five-step procedure — and your weapon will reward you with reliability, consistent accuracy, and long service life.
