"Shooter's Choice" Bore cleaner......

Use it before polishing to remove plastic and lead and that will speed up the polishing process.  But during the polishing process it is the abrasive in the paste that is doing the work.  The Kroil is primarily serving as an oil and transport agent to spread the paste by creating a slurry.  Solvents aren't needed during the polish.  You can certainly use it again after the polish to remove the remaining polishing paste from the barrel.

All good points.

Wow sounds good for removing plastic residue - got to try it.

I am however concerned that it may be too strong - does it affect the camo finish or stock finishes if you accidentally get some on these ?
