It cleans extremely well, assuming you have some patience and allow it to "soak" into carbon, it lubricates adequately in all the applications I've used it in (with the one exception mentioned above), and it protects metal from rust very well.
The one caveat with CLPs, is that while it can clean, lubricate, and protect, it doesn't do any of these tasks as great as a dedicated product could, but I've never been disappointed in its performance. It serves as a great all-around CLP, is safe on virtually all surfaces, and claims to "not contain ingredients considered hazardous by the FDA", which is a big bonus in my mind.
Ballistol is great, and I would highly recommend giving it a shot if you're looking for something new.
+1. My thoughts as well, though I run slip 2000 generally. Did buy some break free collector though to give it a try for firearms that don't get as much use.
