Redneck Sonic Cleaner

[Al8236]

Clockguy,
It did seem to remove all oils, fingerprints and smut. It didn't however make the brass look brand new as in it didn't remove the patina, although I think with the right solvent it would have.
I do remember my father using a off the shelf solvent to dip brass in and it came out looking like new and I do not remember what it was. Probably something deemed toxic and no longer on the market since it worked!
