Outers and others make good gun cleaning kits.  Get one at a gun or sporting goods store.  Make sure it's suitable for .40 caliber handguns.  Just follow the instructions.

Turn it upside down to get all the liquid out and let it dry.  Then use alcohol on a cloth to remove the sticky stuff.

The quickest way to remove it is by washing with soap and a washrag.  The washrag is key.  The quicker you wash after application, the better.  If it's really set in, you can wash it away (to a hard to tell level) in about three or four days.

I started shooting IDPA matches with a .45 GLOCK 36.  It was a miserable gun, jamming every 20-30 rounds.  A buddy had one as well, and his was similar.  I traded it in for a GLOCK 19 and absolutely love it.  I put about 2-3,000 rounds through it without cleaning it (!) before I had my first jam (leaning around a wall one handed, so it was maybe just limpwristing).  I love it, but it is a bit large for carry.  I'm looking to get a S&W 642 or Taurus 851 to try out.  I like shooting 1911s, but they're big and most seem to be a little finicky-- not what I want in a carry weapon.

Wipe it with teak oil and a soft cloth.  Uso no other furniture polish or you will ruin it.

I have a glock 22.  Listen, to take the weapon apart, please make sure it is not loaded.  W/ finger OFF of the trigger, remove the mag.  Then with the finger off of the trigger, lock the slide back to the rear, the round in the chamber should pop out.  make sure the round is out of the weapon by looking and physically checking.  Return the slide and decock the weapon pointing away from you and in a safe direction.  Using your first finger and your thumb pull down the two metal tabs on the left and right side of the weapon, at the same time slide back the slide until it comes all the way off.  You should be able to remove all the parts of the weapon then.

Windex works, so does rubbing alcohol. Use paper towel.

What I have found is best is that you can remove the ball by twisting the bottom plate, and use alcohol & a q-tip. Just dip the q-tip in the alcohol, shake off the excess, you dont want it to drip, just to be moist. Just gently rub the grime away. Always use alcohol, due to the fact that it evaporates very quickly..... Done deal! \n\nAfterwards, you can also blow out the mouse with air can, like the others described. It will work well to remove the loose dust, but wont get rid of the grime.

use a hot towel and moisten the area, and push against them, using the towel to clean it up. you must push hard enough until they are out, or else it's no use. if you need more help, use tweezers

You can use a kit for a .22 cal rifle without any problems.  Though I seriously doubt your airgun rifle would ever need to be cleaned, any debris inside there would be blown out when you fire it.\n\nBut if you feel the need just buy a .22 rifle cleaning kit and follow the instructions that come with it, they cost about $10 at wal-mart.  Don't forget to oil it after cleaning :)  and avoid getting any solvent on plastic parts because it could damage the air compression valves potentially breaking or damaging your rifle.

Take a soft, slightly damp cloth and literally polish the bar.  Hope that helps!

Dissolve salt in vinegar.  To clean copper wipe on with a cloth.  To clean brass, submerge the brass piece in a bath of salt and vinegar.  There is an electric reaction where the ions of sodium from the salt displaces the copper/ brass.  Do not allow to dry on. \n...or to clean copper pans, use ketchup and let set for awhile then rinse off.\n...or soak in Worcestershire sauce.\n...or dip half a lemon in kosher salt and rub well. Then polish with a soft cloth and beeswax for a deep, lasting copper shine.
