The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

Is there a sticky thread or some instructions somewhere online that show you exactly where you need to clean and lubricate? I've only cleaned my P-64 once or twice in about 400 rounds or so, only had 1 or 2 failures, but I'd like to do it right. Where should you and shouldn't you lubricate? Tips appreciated.

I use dry lube on all the moving small parts and wheel bearing grease on the slide rails..

What exactly (brand name) dry lube?

I use Break Free CLP (cleans, lubricates and protects) on everything from my AR15 to my P-64. Simply use CLP with patches or q-tips and run them through or over until they come back clean. In the lube stage, If there's metal that moves or gets rubbed, it gets some. I've used it since 1993 when I went in the Marine Corps, and I've never been disappointed. I finish with a very light coat externally and under the grips to protect and I'm good to go.

Everyone has their own opinion of what works best. This is just mine! Good luck!
