PROLIX LUBRICANT/CLEANER<br />
T<br />
hese<br />
are always some of the toughest things to write<br />
about. New miracle lubes and cleaners come out all<br />
the time, but this time it’s a bit easier. Prolix has been<br />
around for over 22 years and I’ve actually used the stuff.<br />
Right off the bat, there’s a few things I like about it, not<br />
the least is the fact it’s made entirely in the USA. The other<br />
is you an actually wash a part in it with your bare hands.<br />
Nothing in it is listed on the EPA’s “bad” list and you<br />
can use it with aplomb, knowing the Green Peace assault<br />
vehicle will not come storming into your garage, which<br />
might be a really bad idea for them anyway, I’d suspect.<br />
Basically, Prolix is a cleaner and lubricant since when<br />
it dries it leaves a slippery stuff behind. It’s good for wood<br />
(cleans and makes it shiny), and you can even leave nickel<br />
plated parts in it with no ill-effects other than they get clean.<br />
Imagine that. It’s based on citrus-cleaning technology so it’s<br />
biodegradable and ozone safe. I remember when we used to<br />
think nothing about squirting all kinds of petroleum-based<br />
goo on our guns, hands and often into our eyes, all the while<br />
breathing in the wonderful smells of the various solvents<br />
involved. I wonder how we lived to get old? Maybe it<br />
affected our memories, but I haven’t noticed it. Or at least I<br />
can’t remember noticing it.<br />
None of those worries<br />
with Prolix though. I tried it<br />
on some guns and even some<br />
other gear. Since moving<br />
to the wilds of Missouri<br />
onto some land, I have two<br />
tractors, an ATV and no end<br />
of assorted yard-gear like<br />
mowers, brush hogs and the<br />
like to maintain. During a<br />
brainstorm, I sprayed my<br />
tractor motor with Prolix, let it sit a spell, and power-washed<br />
it spick and span clean. I watched the water drain away<br />
knowing the animals were happy I was being all green and<br />
stuff. Worked great. Ditto for my Model 25 S&W with gobs<br />
of lead in the bore due to shooting CCI shot loads through it.<br />
A wet swab (actually, about four wet swabs) a very minor bit<br />
of scrubbing and presto-cleano. I like this stuff and keep the<br />
spray bottle on my workbench. The lube seems to work like<br />
a good lube too so it lives on the bench too. I’d try it if I were<br />
you. (800) 248-5823, www.Prolixlubricant.com<br />
