The Hoppe's Elite technology was originally developed to clean the $28 million F-16 fighter for the U.S. Air force. Its special blend of chelating agents, corrosion inhibitors and surfactants safely penetrate the pores of metal through a non-toxic solvent base. In fact, a firearm treated with Hoppe's Elite is cleaner than when it shipped from the factory. Every time a gun is fired carbon, lead, copper or plastic fouls it. The carbon residue embeds itself deep into the pores of the bore metal and acts like glue, attracting more fouling. Continuous firing layers more carbon, lead and most copper fouling onto the surface of the bore. While ordinary and even premium gun cleaners can leave residues behind, Hoppe's Elite:
- Cleans the firearm down to the pores
- Conditions the bore to repel additional fouling
- Cuts cleaning time by up to 80%
- Saves you money
Hoppe's Elite is for the hard core shooter, who needs hard core cleaning. Hoppes Elite is for the casual shooter, who wants the best for their guns.
