What i do is i clean the gun thoroughly first thing. which means taking it out of the stock oiling things down wiping it down ect. cleaning the barrel i use a weed wacker line that is sharpend on one end and then i use a match to make the other end blunt. what this does is makes it wear you can peirce the cleaning patch on the sharp end and then slide the patch down to the blunt end where it will hold it then you just run it through the barrel until the patches start coming out clean. I thoroughly clean the gun about once a year and i clean the barrel when i notice an affect in accuracy. hope this helps you out a little,
Leo.

Keep the metal lightly oiled, and consider storing it with a dessicant pack. My XL1100 started developing pinpoint rust spots after only a few months. When I searched for why my gun was rusting, I learned that plastic and foam gun cases have a reputation for retaining moisture and promoting rust. I don't have a gun cabinet, so now I just keep the lid of the case propped open a bit.

You have to be careful when cleaning the barrel because of the shroud. you can remove it by unscrewing it or some guys just put a straw down the barrel to keep things from getting in the baffles.

It's only my second airgun and my first springer, and I'm still breaking it in and getting used to it. (First gun was a Crosman 2200 or similar, I don't remember exactly.) I've taken one jackrabbit with it.
