Yeah!
I've used most everything available. My fave solvent is Lucas bore solvent. For cleaning polymer frames, Super Quick Clean Gun (Super QCG).
Militech-1 and Eezox have been rumored to contain chlorinated esters for years. I havent paid for any lab testing or seen any actual lab results to know for sure if they ever did, or still do.
Aluminum can pit in the presence of Chloride ions.

Certain Austenitic Stainless Steels are susceptible to SCC (Stress Crack Corrosion) under certain conditions when exposed to Chlorine.

I hate grease on guns.

Nowadays, nothing. I wipe my guns down with a paper towel after every use, and 98% of powder comes right off. The rest is removed with a stiff toothbrush, and sometimes a brass brush. Cylinder chambers and barrels get a pass with a bore snake. I use the tiniest amount of Lucas Extreme Duty oil on the appropriate places, and then wipe everything down with a microfiber cloth that I sprayed with Breakfree CLP a year ago.
I use liberty gun lubricants. We had a thread a couple years ago about it, one of our forum members is the owner of the company.
