With ultra-sonic cleaning becoming more common, I'd like to see all manuals provide directions, recommended solutions, prohibitions, etc for this cleaning method which will obviously differ based on materials used in fabrication.
Basic cleaning only takes the gun down minimally with further breakdown typically directed to "factory or qualified gunsmiths" which makes sense and is all well and good. However, for ultrasonic cleaning, full breakdown is not so necessary plus, can the polymer structures be submitted to this cleaning method? How will they react to various solutions known to be ok for metal parts?
For instance, cleaning of my 9mm Hellcat is super simple, unless I want to clean "all" the parts. Can I just drop the receiver in a sonic cleaner with a specific solution for 5 minutes, following any needed neutralizing steps, then use Lyman Products Ultrasonic Barrel/Gun Parts Lubricant without further take-down?
