That's the one that's been BANNED since sometime back around 1979 or 
80!  We used to get it in the Military to use as a de-greaser.  It came 
in one gallon, 5 gallon, and 55 gallon drums.

That stuff even takes the rubber coating off of a wire loom!

Hoppe's #9 is one HELL of a lot safer!  The military even got rid of 
"RBC", (Rifle Bore Cleaner).  The environmental issues, along with other 
safety issues took place.

In lieu of Mobile 1, I use a very light "sewing machine" oil.  I haven't 
had it attract a lot of dust and the like.
