Joe's dip stick with a high end oil is a great lubricant,  depending on whether he changes his oil more often than he cleans his pistols.  O0 ;)

Ya'll change oil in your vehicles? This is madness!

I've used FP10, motor oil, Rem oil, Slide Glide, and now use Frog Lube.  I can't say I've ever had a bad experience with any...The Rem oil would constantly run and so I wanted something a little thicker...I use Rem oil when I clean though, but wipe off and apply the other lubes...

I was an armorer and had access to plenty.
As many have also said. I use BreakFree CLP.
Never a problem in over 30yrs

Heard all the cons on it, but all my firearms have Froglube used on them.  Never had a problems with any of them, except in NY during the winter.  Partly my fault as I use a lot on my guns, and it caked up in the frigid temps carrying outside.  But would not prevent firing of pistol and would melt and run wild at the range after use.

As you have experienced for yourself...Frog Lube can become waxy in cold weather and gummy if used with other products that are petroleum based. You admittedly over applied the product and that is easily fixed. The beauty of frog lube is, unless your are storing your weapon, a wipe on wipe off application is sufficient for CLP after the initial application. You will hear repeatedly that the CZ prefers to run wet. This is where FL shines. The product buries itself in the pores of the metal, pushing out everything in its way. The FL waits in the cold firearm to be activated by operation of the gun. As the gun heats with use the FL weeps creating a "wet" running pistol.
I still have not found a reason to not use this product.
It's works every bit as advertised, is non-toxic, You can eat the stuff its so safe.
It is a complete CLP product and only bore cleaning for lead and copper fouling will require a more specialized product.
I am not employed by Frog Lube but I sure support their product like I am...It's not common for me to be this outspoken about a product. Kind of strange when I go back and read everything I have written about the FL product. I guess frog lube is very similar to CZ in this regard.

Only since about 1963.

I also use the "empty" Mobil 1 jugs for lubing my firearms.  O0

I am about to order some Gunzilla as a CLP for a SP-01. Is the general consensus that this is good stuff if I am looking for a non toxic CLP?

When you try boretech's eliminator, there is no going back

For bore cleaning I use Butch's Bore Shine on all my firearms.
And, bore brushes to work in the solvent and scrub away fouling.

FWIW, Just a simple method for bore cleaning "pistol bbls.":

The small " Sunny-D" plastic bottles will just hold a full size CZ75 bbl.
Pour in a Hoppes or other bbl cleaner and insert the bbl.  Put the bottle cap back on and wait a time for soaking.
Pull the bbl out and do your cleaning method.  It will clean very easily.  Pour the cleaner back into the original bottle ready for the next time, and next, and.......  .
The juice  bottle isn't harmed by any cleaners I've tried.

I found this interesting: http://bit.ly/GunCleanerEval

For cleaning and lubrication, I have switched to using Breakthrough products for the most part. I really like their grease, particularly... I do still use Hornady OneShot as a protectant.
