I use Mrpo7 for cleaning all my weapons! amd they really do
clean out those bad carbon buildup!
After that is done, a small light coat of militec would do!
I ahve use that religiously and have worked in desert, texas
woodlands with no issues!

I would not use Diesel or CLP mainly in sandy or desert or dirt,
the media will collect more dirt on the weapon! very prone to
jamming espeically weapons like AR15 or M16.

I'm cheap! The cleaning regimen for my firearms involves
swabbing the bore with Hoppes #9, letting it sit for about 15
minutes to dissolve the powder residue and carbon
buildup, scrubbing the bore with an appropriately-sized bronze
or copper bore brush, then finally flushing all the gunk out with
several blasts from a can of generic non-chlorinated brake
cleaner.
The brake cleaner removes ALL traces of lubricant and solvent
from wherever it's sprayed on, so it's important to relube
thoroughly. The lube that I have used since I started shooting
years ago is a 50/50 mix of Mobil 1 15W-50 synthetic motor oil
and any synthetic automatic transmission fluid that contains Dexron
III.
This cleaning/lubing regimen has served me well through the
years, and I see no reason to change it.
