I just got the latest issue of a popular gun periodical with an article about cleaning solutions. It lists the hand cleaner "Goop" to clean out black powder grime. I've never heard of using that. Does anyone have thoughts or experience with it?

I’d have to try it to see , but if it works, why not.
Not a Gwyneth Paltrow fan. If it does work, we need flood the reviews with how well it works as a gun cleaner.

Yeah, well guys still use gasoline to clean car parts without gloves too.
I'm not one of them.
Is goop the abrasive hand cleaner?
Gojo that's what I was thinking about!
WATER is all that's needed to clear out black powder residue.
SMARTS helps heaps - meaning, keep the dang residue soft and it'll clear out easy as apple pie ala mode.
Wrong company I think. Try this one

I use Goop to clean a 1906 Colt New Service Target in 455 Eley with black powder loads to avoid water in the cylinder/crane/ extractor. It works well, is quick and no rust.
Goop does make a great hand cleaner, but I would not want to use the formulation containing pumice on a rifled barrel.
My question would be, "Why?" The old ballistol and water mix works just fine. You won't get rust with it. The water evaporates and leaves the oil. I can't imagine trying to get goop out of a bore.
A can of compressed air will also help get rid of unwanted water in hard-to-reach places. An air compressor would be better.
