I recently came into possession of a ultrasonic cleaner and have been using it to clean my brass. With a 50/50 solution of water/white vinegar it does a great job and even cleans the primer pockets shiny clean if you decap the brass first.
The unit is big enough to put a government size 1911 and I have been wondering about using it to clean my pistols after I field strip them. I have done a lot of reading about which fluids to use and have decided I would like to stay away from the water based stuff that recommends you dunk the clean parts in oil to keep things from rusting afterwords.
I have seen the posts on ed's red and even considered using m-pro 7 as a cleaning agent. I don't know enough about the ultrasonics but would assume when the you start using a heavier oil base solution the ultrasonic cleaning actions reduces.
Can anyone set me straight on this subject. Has anyone used 100% clp as a ultrasonic fluid.
Thanks,
Johnds
