How do I get Pine Sol residue out of bore?

[Steel Guitar]

Hello All,
This one has me really confused. I usually clean with windex until my wife put some Pine Sol in a windex bottle and didn't tell me. Yes, I was in a hurry and tired. Anyway, I had rust develop within a few dayes so shot the gun and cleaned with T/C bore cleaner, lube with Balistol. I get rust in a day or two so shot the gun again,, clean with windex and lube with Balistol. Still rust developing so shot gun again, clean with windex, lube with Breakfree and now rust within 24 hours. Help!

Rubbing alcohol with a scotch brite pad on cleaning jag.

Thanks Shotgunblast but do I have to go and shoot gun to get the Breakfree out?

 

[Rifleman1776]

Just a good cleaning with soapy water and a Scotchbrite or bit of copper scrubber on the jag.

After cleaning I use Barricade or even 3 in 1 oil on a patch to stop rust.

You need a rust inhibiting lubricant such as Barricade, Boeshield to stop the rust. Wipe the bore a few times with a rust remover such as Eezox. Use rubbing alcohol to remove oils before shooting.

Thanks,

Grenadier1758, where do I get Barricade and Eezox?​

 

[Grenadier1758]

I find Barricade at my Local Gun Store. Eezox may be there too or at your auto parts store. Certainly, available on Amazon.

When I read Pine Sol residue my first thought was a scrubbing with acetone followed by a return to normal maintenance cleaning and oiling.

Pine sol is mostly water soluble, so rinsing with water should remove most of it. If rust forms, then it is more a problem of what is used after to lube or protect the bore.

I swab my bores with a basic moose milk mixture which has Pine Sol in it. Once I dry the bore I apply 3 in 1 oil or Balistol as a rust preventative. I have NEVER had a rust problem with this procedure. It ain't the Pine Sol causing your rust problem.

Yea, Pine Sol should come out fairly easily; water & scrub. Pine Sol Is a cleaner and's not supposed to actually "coat" a surface?? As has been suggested get a heavyweight protector; Barricade, BreakFree CLP, etc.
