I just got one for Christmas
What solvents and detergents do you use, which to avoid, and are the solvents material dependent? Is there a universal cleaning fluid safe for all materials?
I use this. Cut 50% with distilled water.
It’s amazing how much crap will come off of a firearm you THINK is clean.
It meets Boeing’s specs, so it MUST be good!

Bonus info! Didn’t even occur to me to use distilled water. Our water is pretty hard here.
I dunk complete pistols in mine.
If your US cleaner has a heater, use it. Works better hot.
It does, can set temp and shows what tank temp is too.
My nephew got t for me. Has one himself and said it will clean original sin off a whore’s snooch. I’m really interested in seeing how well it cleans primer pockets.
Do you dip in alcohol at the end to clear out all the h2o?
Nope.
I shake the pistol dry, blow it down with air from my compressor, and oil it as normal.
Simple green here. Diluted with water. Worked well for me.
Regular Simple Green can corrode aluminum. The Aircraft grade will not.
Good call… I don’t put aluminum in my ultrasonic.
