I would be very interested in a link to the information that you have that indicates the presence of 'cleaning acids'. I'm not doubting that you know what you are talking about, but would like to read the formulation details for myself.

I have been using it for years with no adverse effects. Some people dislike the smell, but I actually find it nice - evokative of the magic of my first airgun experiences.
Look it up on Ballistols own website.....click on the product ....it provides all the information on at least 4 other ingredients in the mix.
TBH ive no strong feelings on it either way but my choice of "bad idea" is personal to me and i should not have put it out there.
Deal is my Walther 53 washers are unobtainable....the original spares gone forever.
I have a pair of seals which i therefore treat with the greatest of respect and have chosen to go pure mineral oil route for me.
Hope the Ballistol works fine for u .
