Description
A good wipe-down goes a long way toward keeping your firearms and fishing gear looking sharp and running right, and the Hoppe's 1218 Silicone Gun & Reel Cloth makes that final step quick and painless. Each 11" x 14" cloth is made from soft flannel and comes pre-treated with a silicone lubricant, so a single pass lifts away fingerprints and the corrosive oils your skin leaves behind. It polishes and coats metal and wood alike, laying down a thin protective layer that helps fend off rust and moisture between outings.
Why the Hoppe's Silicone Cloth Earns a Spot in Your Kit
Flannel is the key here. It's non-marring, so you can rub down blued steel, stainless, chrome, nickel and even wood stocks without worrying about scratches. Folks tend to reach for these as the last move after a full cleaning, running the cloth around the action, chamber and muzzle to pull off excess oil and leave a clean, even finish. Wrapping a treated cloth around a handgun before it goes into storage is a common trick too, since the silicone coating keeps surfaces protected while they sit.
Ten Cloths, One Resealable Bag
This pack gives you ten cloths sealed in a resealable bag, which keeps the silicone from drying out and makes it easy to grab one and go. At 11" x 14", each cloth is roomy enough for a rifle or shotgun but folds down small enough to ride in a range bag, tackle box, glove box or jacket pocket. Since they're reusable, one cloth handles plenty of wipe-downs before you move on to the next.
Built for the Range and the Water
Hoppe's has been a trusted name in gun care for over a century, and this cloth pulls double duty for anyone who hunts, fishes or shoots. It's just as at home wiping down a fishing rod and reel after a day on the water as it is finishing off a freshly cleaned rifle. Keep one in your cleaning kit and one in your bag, and your gear stays protected wherever you take it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Hoppe's 1218 silicone cloth actually do?
It's pre-treated with a silicone lubricant that removes fingerprints and corrosive skin oils while polishing and coating surfaces with a protective finish. Most people use it as the last step after cleaning to leave a clean, protected surface. The silicone layer also helps guard against rust and moisture during storage.
Will the silicone cloth scratch my firearm's finish?
No. The cloth is made from soft flannel, so it's non-marring and safe on blued steel, stainless, chrome, nickel and wood stocks. That said, avoid aggressive scrubbing on delicate blued finishes and stick to gentle wipe-downs.
Can I use the Hoppe's silicone cloth on fishing rods and reels?
Absolutely. This is a gun and reel cloth, so it's designed for both. Wiping down your rod and reel after a day on the water helps remove moisture and skin oils while leaving a protective coating behind.
How many cloths come in this pack and how long do they last?
You get ten cloths sealed in a resealable bag that keeps the silicone from drying out. Each cloth is reusable and good for plenty of wipe-downs before you swap to a fresh one, so a single pack lasts a long time.
