THE best cleaner/solvent/lube I have EVER found for 22 semi-autos is a product called CorrosionX.
Clean the gun well, spritz in some CorrosionX and let it dry completely. Afterwards, almost ALL ash, wax, lube and burned crud just falls off and out of the action like magic. A short squirt every thousand rounds ever after is plenty.
Lacking that, clean well with regular bore solvent, but do NOT lube the action. Bullet lube/wax is more than enough to keep the gun running well. It gets blown everywhere, don't worry!
