Got a ultrasonic cleaner coming. What is everyone using for a cleaning recipe? Brass will be cleaned the most..

I've been wondering about this too.

Jewelry cleaner, dish soap, toothpaste, metal polish...?

 

[LongHaul]

Someone said once about vinegar and other stuff but I can't find it

I use the Blitz Gem & Jewelery Cleaner concentrate
I bought a 6 pack when I bought the ultrasonic cleaner for $16.99
Amazon.com: 6 Pack - (8oz) BLITZ Concentrated Jewelry Cleaning Solution - Ideal for use with Ultrasonic Cleaners: Home & Kitchen
Use hot water and 4 capfulls of Blitz
Its what Bishopheals used in his ultrasonic cleaning video

I've read that some people just use Dawn dish soap, about 5 drops
I would imagine that would work well also
I'll be trying that out eventually

Dawn works great!!!

Will an ultrasonic wear metal away around the engravings? or not a problem.

 

[Waho]

I use enough hot tap water to cover the parts, with a squirt of blue dawn dish soap for the GGTS, and add a shot of PGA or vodka for attys for sterilization. Works very well for me!

I use sonic cleaner on everything on my GGTS Stainless steel with Brass connectors. The after cycle is done I do a toothpaste and scrub on my brass contacts and the threads on the stainless steel. Wash it out all in hot hot hot water. Leaves that connectivity so good oh man GGTS hits harder Mmm.

How well does the vodka and attys work I have a couple 357's I was going to try it on

I have been using warm tap water with a tiny amount of Dawn on my GG's for a little over a year now. For my brass pieces I'll add a small amount of vinegar to the already solution. You must be careful of rubber o-rings and vinegar for too long WILL make them swell out of size.
All the sonic cleaner solutions that I have used in the beginning are no better than Dawn and or vinegar I use now. As far as cleaning a HH357 I wouldn't even think about it. It will vibrate the connections off in no time.

+1 for Dawn and hot water for my GG's and vodka if I want to clean a coil although I don't so the coil cleaning as much anymore.

Everclear needs only a couple of hours to really clean an atty--used it all the time on my AVAs.

Holy crap fartman I am so sorry that I didn't get a ultrasonic cleaner sooner!!!! I used a hot water, apple cider vinegar and a touch of dawn with a baking soda bath after, WOW is all I can say. I'm really speechless at the difference it has made. It's not like a good polish it's better its like it was the day I first put a battery in it.

If you don't have one GET ONE the difference is AMAZING.

Got a cheap one. Not sure if i am getting the results i want. How long did u put it Long?

 

[LongHaul]

My SS I did for about 15-20 min

Brass wasn't that bad so only 10 min or so

It was black and still has a tad bit of old polishing compound in it but everything else came out. Didn't really do anything until I added the vinegar then it cleaned pretty quick.

I did one of my old ones and it still took a toothbrush to help but I managed to get all the old nolox out of the threads
