Clenzoil® cleans.
I am not sure I like how it cleans though.
Shooter's Choice and Hoppe's seem to carry more gunk away with the liquid. Clenzoil leaves moist carbon that's easily wiped off.
I feel like I am using more cloth to get the same gunk removed.
The aroma reminds me of a fresh opened tin of band-aids.
It's green. Not GREEN, but green colored.
It appears to do the C part that a CLP should do.
FrogLube® did too. Where it failed L is when you got too much on and left it, it turned into a tacky-sticky coating. Rumor has it that FrogLube® is tarted up coconut oil, and its behavior is consistent with what other vegetable oils do when they oxidize. I found no corrosion under that sticky brown coating, so it passes the P portion. I'll call that a partial fail on the C portion too because sometimes you need to flush out a spring pocket or under a pawl or lever. If you can't wipe it nearly off, you get the gummy brown gunk and you're learning how to detail strip the gun to get under those parts now.
