1). What does everyone use for pin lube? I was using IMS pin lube, but I was wondering if there's anything that I could get at the local Lowes (or Home Depot) that's equal to IMS'.

2). I've heard some people talk about different ideas for barrel/screw cleaning. I've been told people use Tide and some even use plexiglass. Anyone want to explain what your process of doing it is?
