Best Gun Cleaner of 2025 – Melt Carbon, Don’t Scrub It

When it comes to gun cleaning, most products promise results — few actually deliver. If you’re tired of solvents that stink, smear, or just plain don’t work, it’s time to upgrade your kit.

Forsaken Industries Carbon Cleaner isn’t your granddad’s bore juice. This is a modern solution built by a combat veteran who actually shoots, not just bottles hype.

What Makes a Gun Cleaner the “Best”?

Not all fouling is created equal — and not all cleaners handle real-world use. Here’s what we looked at:

  • Carbon removal power – Does it break down baked-on carbon without scrubbing?
  • Finish safety – Safe on Cerakote, anodizing, and polymer parts?
  • Toxicity & smell – Can you clean indoors without burning your nostrils?
  • Application speed – Does it work in under 60 seconds?

Introducing Forsaken Industries Carbon Cleaner

We put our Carbon Cleaner through the dirtiest, grimiest, most fouled-up gear we could find — suppressed AR bolts, shotgun receivers, filthy revolvers, and caked-up muzzle brakes. Here's why it passed every test:

✅ Melts carbon in 60 seconds flat
✅ Safe on all finishes — Cerakote, anodized aluminum, polymer, blued steel
✅ Low odor, non-toxic — Clean indoors without gagging
✅ Ideal for suppressors, bolt carriers, gas tubes, muzzle devices
✅ Veteran-built, field-proven
