Thanks OB, I haven't tried it, but have read about it. I am using the occasional bit of carby cleaner, which is used for carbon as well.
It is interesting. I bought some Butch's Bore Shine, as the shop was out of Sweets, but appears to be a similar product - ammonia based, same colour, same smell. Tried it out when I got home, but no blue on the patches. Hmmm...… not what I expected. So then a bit of carby cleaner gets out a lot of black. So I continue on with my normal Pro Shot cleaner for carbon/lead fouling, and left it overnight. A few patches this morning had it looking ok, with patches coming out pretty clean, but not perfect. So, a patch with Butch's went through, followed by another after a few minutes. Yep, came the blue muck!! Yesterday it came out clean, but after a clean for carbon, then I get more copper. It is following the theory of the fouling being in layers, and if I am using the wrong solvent, it will look clean, until I switch to something else. So when I get back to it, I will continue to alternate solvents.
