If his gun cleaner smells like licorice, it's probly Ballistol, which is a pretty popular product among shooting enthusiasts.. Though it's marketed as a multi-purpose cleaner/lubricant, it's best use is as a lubricant and rust inhibitor. Contains pharmaceutical grade mineral oil and isopropyl alchohol.
I use it regularly to clean my pistols and as chain lube in a pinch but never to clean carbs. Since it coats metal surfaces with a thin layer of oil, seems it would attract dirt.
