Ballistol Multi-Purpose Aerosol Can Lubricant Cleaner Protectant Oil 

The Original CLP - Cleans, Lubricates, Preserves. Perfect for Knives and Firearms!

Ballistol can be used to lubricate, penetrate, clean, protect, and preserve tools, firearms, leather, knives, marine equipment, fishing gear, locks, wood, metal, rubber, and so much more.

Ballistol is an outstanding penetrating oil, creeps into the finest cracks, and loosens nuts and bolts. It can also be used as a cutting/boring oil.

One of the most astonishing features of Ballistol is its versatility. There are other products on the market, but none have the same wide range of applications and capabilities as Ballistol.

At the turn of the 20th century, the German Imperial Army began looking for a multipurpose oil that could be used to clean and maintain the metallic parts of a rifle, while also protecting its wooden stock and a soldier's leather gear. To develop this oil, the Army contracted with Friedrich Klever and his son Dr. Helmut Klever, a professor of chemistry at the Technical University of Karlsruhe. In 1904, Dr. Helmut Klever succeeded in producing the special compound, which he named "Ballistol" (from the words "ballistic" and "oleum", the Latin word for "oil"). It soon became obvious that this new "ballistic oil" had truly amazing capabilities, and in 1905 the Imperial Army tested and adopted Ballistol, which stayed in use until 1945. By then, however, word had spread and within a decade, hunters, boaters, hikers, and outdoorsmen in Germany, Austria and Switzerland had converted to using this new "miracle oil."å

Ballistol is biodegradable, and neither its use nor its disposal will pollute our air or water. Its natural decomposition will not produce byproducts that are harmful to the environment. The aerosol propellant is a propane/butane blend that does not contain CFCs. In addition, Ballistol is non-carcinogenic and skin safe.

I apply this stuff on almost everything!!!

This stuff is truly amazing. Cleans, protects, and lubricates an abundance of surfaces. When first applied Ballistol leaves an oily finish, but after it dries it leaves behind a smooth coating that is dry to the touch. Kind of like a layer of car wax.

On plastics it brightens the finish and hides fine scratches. I say "hide" because that is what a wax would do. It just fills in the grooves and tricks the eye into thinking the scratches are removed. This stuff works on leather and I have applied it on my leather shoes. The shine is amazing and very easy to wipe clean after this stuff dries. I have also used Ballistol to clean and lubricate my firearms. This is actually the main reason why I purchased this liquid for.

The one important thing you should know about Ballistol is that it also makes cleaning very easy. A simple wipe down after it is applied and dried is basically all it takes. Ballistol may be more expensive than a lot of people will prefer, but I would swear by it and apply it to almost everything. Give this stuff a try and when you are applying this stuff to everything like I have put that smirk on your face and remember who told you so!!!
