Adiga Armory™ Citrus-Powered Synthetic CLP [Cleaner Lubricant Protectant]
Adiga Armory™ Citrus-Powered Synthetic CLP is the fruit of many years of rigorous R&D efforts. Our mission is simple: to create the fastest, easiest, and best single-bottle firearms care and maintenance product on Earth. Our CLP was developed by leveraging decades of civilian and military small arms experience, as well as our machinery, fabrication and mechanical expertise. It marks a revolutionary shift from the century-old firearms cleaning and maintenance technology that lines the shelves in most big-box stores.
Adiga Armory™ CLP was developed by a US Army veteran with battlefield use in mind. In the field, time is of the essence. You need a quick, efficient cleaner, and a durable lubricant that is capable of sustained, high rates of fire without gumming up or attracting excess dust and carbon. The CLP issued by the Army left much to be desired, compromising heavily in both cleaning and lubricity. Adiga Armory™ CLP exceeds in both areas by incorporating an advanced, proprietary blend of full synthetic base lubricants, and an infusion of gentle, but highly-effective solvents.
Our CLP is designed to be extra tough on fouling and rust, yet safe to use on a vast array of metals, coatings and finishes, as well as most polymers and sealed wood surfaces.
How Does it Work?
Adiga Armory™ CLP acts on surfaces in multiple ways to clean, lubricate and protect critical components.
Citrus Solvents
Citrus solvents loosen and disrupt carbon, lead and copper buildups to make them easier to remove with less scrubbing. They also have strong anti-oxidation characteristics, making them an excellent preventative measure against corrosion.
Light Distillates
Highly-refined, low-odor, premium-grade, high flash point light distillates remove heavy greases, cosmoline and stubborn carbon, as well as lead and copper fouling, while also displacing and repelling moisture to prevent rust.
Synthetic Base
Synthetic base lubricants remain on surfaces long after the more volatile solvents have evaporated. This leaves a thin, super-tough layer of protection against friction, heat and corrosion. The superior surface adhesion and resilient viscosity results in a longer-lasting, more durable lubricity at temperatures over 500° F.

Made in the USA!
We are a US Army veteran-owned company that takes pride in our workmanship. Our CLP is made with care in the USA by American workers. We use a minimal/responsible amount of packaging, and we do not test on animals.
Master of All Trades!
Aside from being a phenomenal gun care product, Adiga Armory™ CLP is exceptionally good at a wide array of other tasks. These include automotive and mechanical cleaning/maintenance; household general-purpose lubrication, including hinges, gates, high-friction zones and unsealed bearings; it can be used on virtually any steel hand tool for cleaning and protection; it can be used as a honing/sharpening oil; it serves as an excellent chain cleaner/lubricant for bike chains; it also acts as a powerful degreaser for cleaning up stubborn, caked on grease, tar and preservation agents like cosmoline.
Is It Safe?
As with any gun cleaning product, Adiga Armory™ CLP should be used in a well-ventilated area to avoid exposure to airborne lead vapors and high-concentrations of solvent vapors. Our CLP is safe to use under normal conditions and normal exposure levels, but is not “designed for human consumption”. So, just because it smells like delicious citrus goodness, please don’t drink it, and keep it out of the reach of children. We recommend using nitrile rubber gloves when cleaning firearms to minimize skin exposure. Please read our Material Safety Data Sheet below for more info. Adiga Armory DOES NOT test on animals.
Adiga Armory™ CLP is safe to use on the vast majority of firearm/metal finishes, such as blued, anodized, chromed, painted, powder coated, clear coated, Cerakote and ceramic enameling. It is also safe on a wide-array of plastics, such as ABS, Polyethylene, Nylon, Zytel, PET, Polycarbonate, Polypropylene and Glock proprietary polymer. Adiga Armory™ CLP is also safe to use on finished/sealed wood stocks and most composite grips and firearm furniture.
What Materials Should I Avoid With Adiga Armory™ CLP?
There are some rare instances in which you would not want to use this product, as it may react adversely with certain substances.
- UNSEALED PATINAS: Certain metal finishes use a combination of heat and chemicals to oxidize the surface. These are called patinas, and unsealed patinas are not recommended with our CLP. The citrus solvent and base oils can react with the oxides and oxidants. While that is great for preventing rust, it can actually remove patinas [which are basically fancy, colored rust]. If the patina is properly sealed with a fully-cured polyurethane clear coat, then it is safe to use Adiga Armory™ CLP. Otherwise, do not use on raw, exposed patina.
- NATURAL LATEX RUBBER: During testing, we observed some expansion/bulging when pieces of natural latex rubber were fully-immersed in our CLP for 24-hours. There was no cracking or other degradation, but there was expansion. We did not observe this issue with nitrile rubber. Caution should be used to minimize exposure on or around certain types of rubber. That said, we have tested it extensively on numerous firearms with “Hogue” rubber over-mold grips and stocks with zero observable adverse reactions.
- UNKNOWN MATERIALS: As a general rule of thumb that applies to any solvent use on unknown or untested materials, test one drop in a discreet location and observe it after 15-minutes. You can use a q-tip to probe the surface. If the surface remains firm, and does not bulge, smudge or strip, it should be safe to use.
