I have used this since the military started using this. Frog Lube is concentrated, it takes very little to get out standing results. There is also a treatment procedure that must be used to get optimum results. The results after several treatments show a clear and observable difference. You work the product with a tiny bit each time with elbow grease. You don't cake it on as all you are asking for is a gummed up mess.
For a field cleaning kit, this is optimum, as it is bio based and in case of a leak much better than non-bio based products for clean up. For home use, there are better bore cleaners and degreasers, and the Frog lube then worked in afterwards with tight patches and a lot of work. Working it until the part worms up is your friend when using Frog Lube.
As a rust preventative treatment and to slick up the action, it is hard to beat, if you take the time to properly use the product.
This video provides compelling proof:

Years of use of this from M1A's to bolt actions have resulted in super smooth operation of the actions.
