What does everyone use for ultrasonic solution, is it worth buying specialized cleaners like the ones hornady sells? I just bought a huge ultrasonic cleaner so I'll need a lot of solution which cannget expensive even when diluted

Slip 725 weapon cleaner. You can order the concentrate from them which saves a lot. Works great.

I see they have a formula specifically for ultrasonic cleaners and its a concentrate. 1 gallon makes 5 gallons of cleaner. I went ahead and ordered 2 gallons. I dont know why i didnt think of slip, ive used their stuff for a long time and have been happy with everything I've tried from them. |

It's my go to cleaner as well. I believe it's all 725 just concentrate is a lot cheaper. The concentrate has worked great for me and can mix up a spray bottle for spot cleaning |

I use slip 725 when I clean whole gun(s) or lots of parts. It can be saved and used again. Most just settles to the bottom.
If I'm cleaning a small batch of parts I'll fill the unit up with water and put the parts in a sealed container with cleaning solution. |

I've heard the Simple Green Aviation and their (purple) Pro HD work well. I've used the purple HD to clean with for several years now but only as a spray solution. Both are safe for aluminum as regular simple green is not.

I also fill my ultrasonic cleaner up with water. Then I put my parts in old peanut butter jars with whatever solvent I think will work best for the application as I use it for carb cleaning, reloading and general mechanical work.
