Has anyone had any experience with saturating oils like WD 40 or Breakfree lifting the blueing on certain P-08 parts? I speak in particular about certain very hard steel luger parts where the blueing is more a surface coating than a deep penetrated color. Like the receiver, the rear of which often seems more plated with layered color than a color of depth. Is there a danger of lifting this color if the parts are soaked? Which oil do you use for your investment grade P-08's? Thank you.

There have been some pretty exhaustive tests done by members of this forum and most agree that Clenzoil (available at some gunshops, gunshows and on the internet) is the best. I use it and it is light, penetrates, does no harm, and has been around for a long time. I also use RIG which is a heavy coating that I wipe down after it has been applied. I have been using this for over 25 years, no rust or damage ever. I would not recommend putting any petroleum product on the grips or the holster, though. I have heard that there are some gun oils that will dissolve the cold bluing solution but that is not all bad.
