May not be the right part of the forum, but figured this would be the best knowledge base
I have a dental ultrasonic cleaner(work was gonna throw it out so I brought it home to tinker with, turns out it works just fine...). What cleaning solution do y’all recommend both for cleaning brass and firearms?
so far I used a hot water/dawn dish soap combo that worked very well for both, but caused rust spots on my pistol parts (Ruger mark 3 blues standard and sig 938). Nothing that didn’t wipe away with an oil soaked paper towel immediately after removing from the solution, but still... I was planning on using simple green, as an army mechanic that stuff is a miracle, but have heard it’s the devil for aluminum and hard coat anodized parts
I want to run my s&w M&p pro and the 1911 I inherited through the ultrasonic but wanted to ask for advice before I potentially damage anything... especially the 1911, it belonged to my dads best friend, when he passed away 4-5 yrs ago my dad got it. My dad passed away two months ago and that’s how I got it... I don’t want to think about doing anything that may possibly damage that gun...
