The reason I took this picture was really for myself after it came out of a sonic cleaner with Ballistol milk. It was one of the first times I used the sonic cleaner. I have some expensive stuff I had also bought, but wanted to try Ballistol first after a friend suggested it. The gun was dirty and caked residue. I was impressed. And again, I have a whole lot of magazines that I use weekly, So nice to just put them in the Sonic Cleaner and just blow dry out. The bottom line for me is the fact that it was proven itself to work well. Below is Ballistol Milk, put a gun into it or a few magazine and the cleaned broken down residue comes to the top. The bottom stays clear.
I recently finished putting 10,000 rds through one of my guns. I broke it down, took out the chassis and in between the chassis and the grip was filthy. The trigger group and springs pretty dirty. The sonic cleaner and the ballistol had them looking brand new with all the springs and parts coated with a very fine layer of lubricant.
If you prefer something else, that is fine. But I will continue to use what works great for me. And again, all my guns great. And in the end that is what it is all about for me. (not to mention NO rust) and even my hunting shotguns look great and they are always in a harsh humid climate.

Great info. What dilution ratio do you use in the ultrasonic?
