ThorroClean Bore Cleaning System

[BoydAllen]

Probably why he specified Bon Ami. I cannot get my hands on Bon Ami where I live or I would have tried this long ago.

There is always the internet. https://www.google.com/search?q=Bon...AQAw&biw=1120&bih=547#spd=4951774267589817603

use a carbon remover to remove carbon..what a silly idea.
gm tec( top engine cleaner) was one of the best, i still have some.
subaru makes some that works
mercury outboards have a cleaner that works and still available.( seafoam ?)

Mercury Power Tune..have not used it in a rifle barrel

If I ever cross the boarder i'll get some.

Received the Thorro Clean today and tried it out. My first impression was the cleaning solution is simply Iosso paste in liquid suspension form. It cleans pretty much the same way as Iosso which is VERY good. I cleaned a 6BR Criterion barrel that had been previously cleaned with BoreTech C4 carbon remover/brass brush followed by BoreTech Copper CU+ copper remover and nylon brush which is my normal bore cleaning regime. The Thorro Clean did remove some additional copper and carbon, providing the type of cleaning I typically see when I use Iosso paste.

See attached pics from my Hawkeye Bore Scope before and after the Thorro Clean.

looks like its bababababad to the bone like george thorogood

I might just have to try the thoroclean especially in factory rifles that foul the worst first. Then if it maintains my accuracy I will try it on my good barrels. Looks to be a good product.

A story my Dad told me, was that when Chevrolet came out with their 265 c.i. V-8 engine in 1955, they could not get the rings to seat, thus burning oil.
Chevrolet's answer was to gradually pour in a can of Bon-Amy down the carb. to seat the rings, and it worked. Anyone else remember this tale?

Cleaned one my rifles yesterday using Thorroclean for the first time. It does appear to be Iosso paste in a liquid suspension.

I still have a can of GM Bon Ami. I don't know if their intent was to use it to seat rings but I know it was tried more than once.

Wonder what the liquid is?

This magic stuff looks like a new version of Gold Medallion bore cleaner. A lot of high power shooters used it back in the 80's

How did it do?

wouldn't it be easier to just use the Iosso paste (instead of the liquid form)?

.....wondering if there's any advantage to this new 'system' vs. Iosso paste.

How did it do?

Cleaned all the carbon out of throat. Confirmed with bore scope.

I have no idea what the liquid is. But the Thorroclean is white in color and it feels like IOSSO paste when you rub it with fingers.

I tried to take a picture of the bore from the chamber end after cleaning. I had to refocus 3 times and made a composite of all 3 shots in #4. It still doesn't show enough to tell the condition of the bore.

It must be an optical illusion, but it appears that the twist rate is phenomenal.

It's optical confusion. It's a 1/10 twist through a 22" barrel and you're seeing all 6 lands. And I faced the barrel towards the window to get more light and the reflections of the tree limbs in the bore makes it look warped too.

Yes, that is the truth.

It sounds similar to Montana X-Treme Copper Cream.
