For me the gun is easily concealed in my upper pant pocket and my opposite pocket contains an extra magazine. Upon cleaning last week, I notice a small amount of lint on and inside the gun, which was easily removed. It it possible to clean the inside of the LCP Max magazines? I suspect lint there too. I suspect it is also not a bad idea to paint nail polish on the 380 primers, since they are exposed to moisture leaching from my skin and through my pant's fabric.

Yes, the mags can be stripped for cleaning, the how-to is in the owners manual. If you are carrying the spare without a mag pouch I would skip any lubrication.

I would pass on the nail polish, there won't be enough moisture to affect the primer. I would be more concerned about the nail polish causing issues.

Compressed air is your friend. If you're consistently saturating your weapon/ammo I'd set time to rotate that ammo out, use it at the range for training, and load new. Modern ammo is very difficult to render useless in a high moisture environment but if you're carrying for defensive purposes I'd "block" your ammo once in awhile and put some fresh pills in those mags.
