Re: The difference
There is a lot of difference, Sweets has ammonia in it and is a hell of a lot better at getting copper out. I used hopes 9 for years then got educated it dose not move hopper like sweets that's for sure.

Re: The difference
Yeah if you leave it in for few day at a time!
I use Hoppes No9 to neutralize the sweets!
It smells good though!

Re: The difference
I love the smell of Hoppes no9
I wish someone would bring it out as an aftershave

It would probably make a better aftershave than a bore solvent.MISSED wrote:I love the smell of Hoppes no9

To be honest it is difficult to see copper in a moderately clean barrel with the naked eye. Put a bore scope down there and it is immediately obvious.
