I used a 50/50 mix of Shooters Choice/Kroil for a number of years until it ran out. It cleaned quite well, but the smell would curl your nose hairs.

Now I use:
Heavy duty cleaning: WipeOut foaming bore cleaner
Moderate/light duty cleaning: Ballistol
Lube: Ballistol or BreakFree CLP
Protectant: Ballistol or BreakFree CLP

I'm trying out MPro-7 in a pump bottle as a non-foaming cleaner. My friend swears by it and it does seem to cut through carbon very nicely. As a bonus it's non-toxic and has virtually no scent.
