    Collins 90 seems to work OK. Was recommended to me.
    Don't know about its comparison to hoppes but was told hoppes wasn't as good as it used to be.
    I haven't done enough barrel fouling to see

    Hoppes changed their formula over 10 years ago to a synthetic blend due to the original brew containing chems that offended, for one, Kalifornia. Maybe the "new" version is even less effective that the old.
