Am I missing something? Why is froglube still a thing we talk about?
Because NEVER HAD A PROBLEM and clever marketing. I especially love how people say it runs just fine in their Glocks, when you could lube a Glock with Skoal spit and it would run fine.
I detail stripped my 1911 & applied FL to all the parts according to the instructions exactly. I even heated the parts with a hair dryer! I wiped all the parts clean with the little mint-green microfiber they shipped and everything. I found that, even at the low end of indoor temperatures (upper 60s F), it would gum the slide up. Not enough to affect function, but enough to be noticeable. I also felt like it affected the trigger pull weight but I never put it on a scale so I don't want to say for sure. And, remember, this was following the manufacturer's express directions. Carbon would wipe straight off as advertised, but only because it was a thin coating of grease/wax/paste/whatever and the carbon would wipe off with the grease. That stopped working after the layer of grease wiped off, so I'd get maybe one or two wipes before it would get stuck again. I ended up detail stripping, degreasing with Simple Green, and switching to wheel bearing grease instead. I never noticed a problem with my M&Ps or Glocks, but then (as previously mentioned) those work fine with anything.
My biggest problem with Froglube is the marketing. Their little spiel about "seasoning the metal" is complete and total nonsense, and IDGAF if a SEAL designed it unless they teach a tribology class in BUDS. I'm ~90% sure that the reason the prescribed application process is so complicated is so that, when your results are inevitably sub-par, they can blame you for not doing it right instead of owning up to the fact that their product is snake oil garbage.
