Ultrasonic cleaning products.

Hi all.

I've a query for those in the know. For those using ultrasonic cleaners, what chemical / cleaning products would you reccomend for - 

A - dirty gun parts.

B - cleaning brass.

All the related posts ive found seem to be 4 or 5 years old now, I'm guessing there's new products on the market nowadays. 

Thanks in advance.

This is brilliant for brass in an ultrasonic.   https://www.carbusonic.co.uk/-ULTRASONIC-CLEANING-FLUID-JEWELLERY-JEWELRY-WATCHES-TATTOO-DENTAL

I drain down and let it stand for a day or so, poor off the clear and dump the crap - top up occasionally.

Their carb cleaner does steel parts well but so does dish detergent in hot water

Nice one, thanks for that.

Try this company. Liquid to clean brass doesn’t work well on carbon in the rimfire moderator . So got specific carbon cleaner to use in the ultrasonic bath - much better.

For brass and gun parts?

After trying lots of things  for parts cleaning, i use parrafin it doesnt cause any problems with platic aluminium or steel  , components are left slightly oily so dont corrode instantly  and i havent had any surface finishes damaged .

Also good for its creep ability for stuck chokes or screws
