I tried a bottle of this stuff, just to see if it would wipe off some of the BP residue around the nipple on the outside after my cleaning routine. Nope. Hardly touched the residue. Back to a plain old damp rag.

Good ol' water , but before I leave the range and while the bore is still warm I run a few wet/dry patches of Hoppe's 9 Black Powder cleaner down the bore and wipe the pan etc. down. It works well, as one time I didn't get a chance for a through water cleaning for a few days and bore was still clean and free of rust.

Same here. I got a bottle of this junk with some other junk I bought. It didn’t work and went in the trash. It seems like the old simple ways of doing things are usually best.

Good old Hoppes! I still use the #9 on my smokeless britch-loaders.

I haven’t tried their blackpowder solvent, though. How is it different from #9? Does it smell similar?

The main ingredient in #9 is kerosene, although you might not know it from the aroma.
