I use Ed's Red that I mix at home to clean my bore, internals and surface of every firearm. After everything is cleaned off I use a break cleaner to blow everything out and remove any trace of oil/lube. Then I wipe everything and all metal surfaces down with Ed's Red again. Finally I lube my firearms with Lubriplate grease on rails and bolt and Mobile1 20W-50 oil on everything else. I make about a quart of Ed's Red and it enough to last a year.

BTW I don't clean my firearms that frequently. Most pistols go about 3,000 rounds or more before I clean them and my rifles get cleaned once a year or two.

Second vote for Ed's Red as a cleaner.
Superlube or moly graph for parts that need to be greased.

I’m still using those green bottles of surplus sperm whale oil from WW2 that I bought at a gun show in St. Petersburg over 50 years ago. I guess if I ever run out I’ll buy something more modern.

After a range session I take the gun apart, & spray all the parts with Walmart brake cleaner. That removes the oil/powder mixture. I clean the barrel with Hopes #9. Then I lube everything with Remoil spray. I do not believe in CLP liquids, as how can the same liquid clean, then lube the weapon. With the brake cleaner spray all the crap is sprayed away, & then ready for lube. With handguns I use the Tetra grease for lube. GARY.

3 in 1 oil.

It worked on my Red Ryder in 1959, and it worked on my AR yesterday.

If it aint broke, don't fix it!
