What is the difference between Weapon Shield® CLP and Weapon Shield® Solvent?

Weapon Shield® CLP is primarily an oil based cleaner lubricant and protectant. While it has excellent cleaning properties, it does not have the strength to cut some baked on carbons or embedded coppers and alloys.
Weapon Shield® Solvent has a base that is designed for better cutting power, but still contains the Advanced Boundary Film propertied giving increased lubrication, water resistance and corrosion protection.
My recommendation is this:
  • If you have a firearms that needs a deep clean or has never had Weapon Shield used on it before, use the Solvent to give you the best possible cleaning to that when you apply Weapon Shield® CLP, you’re beginning with a clean slate upon which to best improve your firearms lubrication and protection.
  • Once you have done a thorough cleaning with the solvent, then apply Weapon Shield® CLP, and you’ll never need the solvent again.
The solvent also works great on suppressors and flash suppressors that retain carbon build up as well, and is a more prolific remover of rust and corrosion.

Don't Chlorinated Paraffins cause corrosion?

Chlorinated paraffins can cause corrosion. However, if used they have to be used in moderate or high strength to do so. They also have to be of the long-chain type. Weapon Shield® products do not use long chain paraffins which is why we also qualify as environmentally safe, and why the product does not qualify under California. Prop 65.
Weapon Shield® does not cause corrosion. Period. We actually recommend Weapon Shield® for long tern storage on all metals.

Can I buy Weapon Shield® on Amazon?

Currently, Weapon Shield® products are not available on Amazon, and while we recognize the convenience of shopping on that platform, there are several factors involved in this decision.

In the future, we hope to make our products accessible on Amazon, but setting up an Amazon store involves significant costs. These include expenses for shipping (which is not truly free for vendors), storage, picking, packaging, handling, advertising, and even obtaining paid authentic reviews. As a result, the operating costs can quickly accumulate, leading to very slim profit margins. In most cases, Amazon would easily profit more from our smaller-ticket items than we would.

As we navigate this process and work towards the substantial investment needed to create a successful presence on Amazon, we encourage you to support us by purchasing directly from our website. Buying direct not only helps us maintain better profit margins but also allows for personal interaction with our team. This means quicker responses to your questions, rapid customer service support, and effective resolutions for any issues, such as missing or damaged products due to shipping mishandling.

At Rattac Technologies, we are committed to providing the best customer service experience possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out directly via email at info@weaponshield.com. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Why does Weapon Shield® smell different?

Weapon Shield® is different in so many ways. One of those ways is in its fragrance. Weapon Shield products are infused with all natural cinnamon oil. Cinnamon fragrance was incorporated solely to provide a pleasant fragrance, distinct from oil or other products. Hoping the smell of cleaning and servicing your firearms would not produce an order that offended others in the household! There was no intention to use it as an attractant for game. On the contrary. Rattac Technologies is even considering a fragrance-free line to avoid any potential repellent effects on North American game as cinnamon is a non-native fragrance. On this issue, feel free to let us know your thoughts.

The current Weapon Shield® formula remains the same as when it was produced by the previous manufacturers with cinnamon sourced directly from groves in India.

With regards to changes or differences in fragrance, it’s important to note that cinnamon oil can vary in intensity between batches, between people, and product aging can intensify the fragrance over time. Therefore, comparisons between current and legacy production may not yield directly comparable results.
