Well, easy question I would suppose. I know tuf-glide/clothe is a silicone or silicon based lube/rust inhibitor, hoppes is naptha, and I think remoil is silicon/teflon; but whats CLP Break-Free? And am I correct on the other three?

I would like to switch over to a dry lube and rust inhibitor from Hoppes. I know about militech, but 'm curious about the rest. Will any of these pick up less crude than hoppes (which doesn't pick up nearly as much as mineral oil)? Also, which one(s) will tend to last the longest in the joint before wearing off? How about on the blade?
 
what about renaissance wax? thats quite popular with collectors. or ballistol, clenzoil, kroil?
 
I think it was our forum member Fulloflead that did a fantastic post on a test involving lubes , his results were that CLP was the overall best , if I recall correctly. I have used CLP since about 2001, the same big can is about 1/3 full , and that is cleaning a lot of guns and knives. :D
Mind you this is not taking dry lubes into consideration.
