Re: Hoppe's #9 doesn't dissolve carbon very well
Except for the price and there is some pretty convincing speculation that it is mostly coconut oil that you can get at a grocery store.
I don't buy in to the uber-expensive wonder lubes. Give me a quart of Mobil one synthetic 0-20 wt motor oil for about $8 and I am happy.
And a quart or two of Eds Red (of course). Works better than Hoppes. Just doesn't smell as good.

Re: Hoppe's #9 doesn't dissolve carbon very well
I've never had that problem maybe you went a little too heavy with cleanings after initial seasoning and left too much product on? I always just leave a light sheen and it is perfect. I dont view Frog lube application as I would if I were using an oil like Hoppe's. Light refresher is all it needs. When the gun gets hot, the Frog lube liquefies perfect every time.

Coconut oil is awesome in my experience. Check out the link, keep scrolling pretty long.

Re: Hoppe's #9 doesn't dissolve carbon very well
Sometime after WWII a man gave me a saber and scabbard which he said was Italian. It had a very distinct odor that smelled like coconut.
There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

Re: Hoppe's #9 doesn't dissolve carbon very well
Yes its a ingredient to look for in so-called carbon solvents. Seafoam, slip2000 carbon killer, marvel mystery oil. Im not advocating straight oil of wintergreen although I do have a bottle from my carbon killing search. Its nothing to be foolish with. Some lady runner ended up killing herself with abuse of it in bengay, solonpas, tigerbaum and saran wrap. She took a run and her pours opened up and soaked in a lethal dose.

Re: Hoppe's #9 doesn't dissolve carbon very well
As posted directly above.
Slip2000 is great stuff.
Hoppe's Elite is also a great product, both carbon and some copper. But there are better copper killers out there, which is a whole other thread.HGW, llc ~ Title 1 & NFA sales/manufacturing ~ Transfers - Title 1 $20 - NFA $50

I use Carbon Cutter and its of wire brush scrubbing in on direction only.. Cleans my Sig op rod on SBR ok. LOTS of hand work to get it really clean.

Slip 2000 on the gun. I use the Hoppes #9 for the scent.
Hold the Line...
