PerfectI got worried about this, and wanted a something that left zero residue to wash everything out, so I could apply eezox to bare clean metal.
I use white spirits now. Wonderful stuff. Best carbon remover around. I strip everything, bolts, the works now, and wash them down in white spirits, they dry residue free, then coat in eezox and let it dry. Gets everything very clean, and the dry coat eezox doesnt pick up grit. If its a high wear or high impact spot I put a bit of graphite in with the eezox.
For the barrel (stainless) I get some carbon out with the white spirits, then do boretech copper till no more copper comes out (200 rounds = 4-5 patches with boretech in my 6.5 trueflight) then I use a patch then brush and white spirits to get rid of the last of the carbon, as well as all the boretech copper.
Use a rod guide and a bottle over the muzzle and it should all be pretty mess free. I cut the side of a heavy plastic bag and slide it over the but, under the rodguide so I cant splash anything on the stock etc.
