What cleaning solvents do you find really effective for your firearms? I want to know what works best for anyone dealing with tough residue or carbon buildup. Any favorites that you think stand out?
 
After years of trying many brands of cleaning solutions, I made & have been using an old stanby..Ed's Red.
Made of equal parts Kerosene,Mineral Spirits, Acetone, & ATF ( gives it it's red color) it cleans very well.
Keep it in a sealed container after mixing, as the acetone will evaporate.
The interweb has various forms of it, adding different things to the mix (google search for Ed's Red)
