    GM top end engine cleaner


    Dissolves carbon and what it doesn’t dissolve goes all soft

    I’d also be tempted to put the suppressor in a sonic cleaner

    It cleans them up bright and shiney!

    Did that to an A-tec and all the anodizing came off. Made it very clean however.

    Which method removed the anodizing ? The sonic cleaner or GM top end engine cleaner ?
    I have previously asked about boring suppressors out to suit bigger cals and was advised that it wasn't ideal as boring removes the hard anodizing which will shorten the life of the suppressor and allow it to erode faster ?
    If that is the case I'd probably stick to using a carbon remover like CLR or any of the firearm specific carbon cleaners.
