Ultrasonic cleaner solution
Discussion
Have a 13L 360w ultrasonic cleaner on order and was wondering about which solution to order to go with it.
First thing in there will be a set of ally throttle bodies and some other small ally parts. Most are pretty clean but need that small extra detail clean the ultrasonic offers.
Being a 13L, was thinking it might get expensive if using some of the solutions on offer, so any experience with using cheaper household cleaners, or are they really wasting the potential of using an ultrasonic in the first place ?
Google searches generally keep coming up with an American product called Simple Green which seemingly gives good results at low cost. Anyone know the Uk equivelent product ?

Ultrasonic cleaners are used by jewellers worldwide, and we tend to use a heavy detergent with ammonia which clears all the muck out and also gives the metal a shiny sparkle!
If google Cooksonsgold, or Cousins (jewellery suppliers)they have various products available - and they're in UK. They will post it.
This is the one I use, but it's expensive even if it is awesome - you only use about a tablespoon at a time, so it lasts forever!

They ALL work better with warm NOT BOILING water/fluid.
Where are you based? I'm in Cambridge & if you're fairly local I could probably let you have some to try - daren't post it as it's not nice stuff to send without proper bottles... the postie gets upset!!

the other option is to chat to your local pub/restaurant and ask for a little of their concentrated dish washer fluid, add a bit of ammonia & you're in business! Not sure on hindsight if ammonia is a good thing to use on alloys - someone else could reply better than me on this - I'm more used to using it with precious metals.
