Introducing Pro Ferrum Polymer Wad Remover

The Solution to Polymer Fouling in Shotgun Barrels

The increased use of polymer-based wads in modern shotgun cartridges has brought clear performance benefits, particularly when shooting lead free cartridges. But it has also introduced a problem that many shooters will recognise the moment they look down the barrel.

Polymer wads don’t simply leave “deposits” behind. Under pressure and heat, they skid along the bore, melting as they go and depositing a stubborn polymer residue on the internal barrel surface. What’s left behind often looks like coloured melted candle wax smeared up the bore and once it’s there, it’s notoriously difficult to remove.

The problem is that traditional cleaning methods just don’t work!

When you attack polymer fouling with conventional solvents and aggressive scrubbing, the friction heats the residue, softening it. The polymer then moves up the barrel and re-bonds the moment you stop, rather than being removed. You’re not cleaning it, you’re just relocating it.

That’s exactly the problem the Pro Ferrum Polymer Wad Remover was designed to solve.

A Chemical Solution — Not More Friction

After months of testing, Pro Ferrum Polymer Wad Remover provides a chemical method of lifting polymer residue off the barrel surface, rather than melting it and pushing it around.

The fluid works by breaking the bond between the polymer residue and the barrel, allowing the fouling to be lifted cleanly away instead of smeared further down the bore. The result is faster, easier and far more effective cleaning with significantly less effort.

This isn’t about brute force. It’s about using the right chemistry for the job.

How to Use Pro Ferrum Polymer Wad Remover

For best results, the process is simple and deliberate:

Spray Pro Ferrum Polymer Wad Remover into the barrel
Leave to soak for 5 minutes, let the chemistry do the work
Scrub using a Pro Clean Phosphor Bronze Brush
Push through with a clean paper towelling plug
Re-spray and coat with Pro Ferrum Gun Care Fluid to protect the barrel

Once cleaned, finishing with Pro Ferrum Gun Care Fluid is essential. It leaves a protective coating that helps prevent future fouling and shields the bore from corrosion and handling contaminants.

Designed for all Shotguns

Polymer wad fouling is a by-product of modern ammunition and it needs a modern solution. Pro Ferrum Polymer Wad Remover has been engineered specifically to deal with plastic and polymer residues that traditional cleaners simply aren’t equipped to handle.

If you shoot polymer wadded cartridges regularly, this product removes one of the most frustrating maintenance issues you’ll encounter.
