Clenzoil Gun Cleaning

About Clenzoil

Clenzoil has been a trusted name in firearms maintenance since 1948, when founder Ellis Christian Lenz developed the original CLP formula.

Captain Lenz, a World War II veteran and dedicated rifleman, witnessed problems with weapons jamming in harsh environments during his military service.

After returning home in 1945, he began developing a revolutionary product that would work effectively as a cleaner, lubricant, and rust inhibitor in any environment.

The company gained recognition in 1950 through rigorous NRA testing and was featured in American Rifleman Magazine for its superior cleaning and rust protection capabilities.

Today, Clenzoil operates as a veteran-owned business manufacturing over 100 products in their Tampa, Florida facility, maintaining their commitment to quality and supporting the shooting sports community.
