Well I purchased a Hornady Hot Tub 9L ultrasonic cleaner last week along with Hornady's gun parts cleaning solution and I must say I'm less than impressed by how well it DIDN'T work.
I went by the instructions and used distilled water and using proper mixing solutions.
I did a few muzzle brakes, some were very dirty and a few others with just a few rounds through it. I ran them all through a few 30 min cycles with less than stellar results. Heck I could have done a better job faster with a few assortment of brushes and cleaner.
I bough this thing specifically to do parts. Especially parts that can not be taken apart easily, like triggers.
I would also like to be able to use this on polymer framed guns so any suggestions on a solution for them?
So what am I doing wrong? Is this cleaning solution not that good? What should I be using or am I expecting to much from a $400 ultrasonic cleaner?
