I have no real problem with your method because at least you clean your firearms but I disagree with the first coat of oil. any surface that is (or can be) exposed to the gases from discharge should be cleaned with solvent before a coat of oil is applied. the reason for this is that steel as with all metals is porous, so if you add oil first you give the corrosive carbon A carrying agent into those pores. this weakens the metal over time and will cause it to rust. just wash it like your damn car (metaphorically) soap it, dry it, and then apply the wax!
