I've been looking into the possibility of changing my routine of Hoppe's #9 followed by Hoppe's Gun Oil, and came across this study a fella did.
This was super impressive to me, and I thought someone else might benefit.

From other research I've done (I lost track of all the places I've gotten info from, sorry!) I've decided on Hoppe's #9 followed by Hornady One Shot HD-Extreme on all sprayable surfaces, and Hoppe's Gun Oil in the bore applied and wiped dry once per month (I live 5 minutes walk from the beach, so better safe than sorry with massive humidity and salt air). And if metal fouling appears to be a heavy problem at any point, throw in a Kroil step after the Hoppe's #9, with the possibility of another round of Hoppe's after, and Isopropyl Alcohol before applying oil (if I don't end up being too lazy).
Hope this helps someone, and mass respect for Diy-Guy from The Firing Line for his extensive study.
