After reading the use of the ultrasound/sonic baths I went on eBay and bought a battery operated one for £6.99 and free postage.

I'm not holding my breath for it to be amazing but I'll let you know if it is! 

I figured it would be very handy with old restoration projects getting all the crap off valves instead of rubbing, picking and scratching! 

Thanks for the idea!

Ultrasonic cleaners are great. Especially if you have a good cleaning solution in there.

What kind of solution do you use that works the best?

Well, I don't have one. I used to work at a musical instrument repair shop that had a big 20-30 gallon one for tubas, trumpets, etc.

We used a very dilute solution of Simple Green, muriatic acid and some other stuff I can't remember. It would turn some metals pink (like raw brass) and one of the repair guys cleaned his .45 in it. Worked great. He had a buddy (who now has my old job) bring his over and it cleaned up fine except for turning it pink.
