Clean the factory grease out and get shooting. After the season is over WipeOut with Accelerator. Works for me.
I used WipeOut with Accelerator but I would sometimes find a gooey varnish like residue if I didn't get every last speck of it out. I now use Ballistol and find it cleans as well and no gooey residue.
