I use Eezox (Eezox premium synthetic lubricants from Warren Custom Outdoor Products) which is a dry lube, cleaner and protectant. I've used it for a few years and it's about all I use.
It cleans great (be careful around plastic and rubber), dries to the touch to provide lubrication that won't pickup any dirt or debris and protects the metal surfaces. I generally clean the gun with patches down the bore, all over the metal surfaces, bronze brush where needed, etc. Then I wipe it all down and put another coat of Eezox on and let it dry. An hour or so is good, sometimes I let it dry overnight (I live alone).
Then I reassemble and all surfaces are protected and slick to the touch. The bore shines AND won't pick up carbon fouling quite so easily. All-in-all Eezox does the trick for all my firearms and other metal items I want lubed and/or protected. Plus, you use a tiny amount so a can lasts a looooong time. I get a year or two from one can! That's cleaning all my guns.
