Best combination I've found yet: Hoppes Elite and Remington RemOil.

If by smokepole you mean BP then I clean it the way they are supposed to be cleaned. Patched Jag & hot soapy water until the water pumps out clean.

My other stuff I clean with butch's bore shine, works great and gets all the copper/lead fouling out.

When I was saying smokepole it was in the generic firearms usage, as in any handgun or rifle & not just black powder.

OH, I've spent too much time around BP stuff Anyway, I answered the cleaning part above, for oil I use Remoil for my centerfire stuff and T/C wonderlube for the BP stuff.
