So I figured since I keep buying crusty Porsches to fix up so I figured an ultra sonic parts cleaner made sense. I bought one big enough to do carbs because well why not right? Any how I have never used one of these things before and was wondering if anyone with experience has a recommendation for cleaning solutions to use? I have researched online and there are a million different recommendations but figured I would start here. Let me know if you have a recommendations. Thanks in advance

This is a bit spendy, but I definitely want something safe for zinc, aluminum and magnesium. I saw someone use plastic and glass containers to help reduce solvent use. Probably will only work for smaller parts, but could be good for latches etc.
QUOTE(Superhawk996 @ Dec 2 2020, 04:15 PM)  I use S100 in mine. It's expensive but does a great job and I trust it with Aluminum, Zinc, and Mag based on prior experience. I dilute it to stretch it a bit further. https://www.amazon.com/S100-12005L-Total-Cl...78639&psc=1 I know some of the others like Purple Power available at usual FLAPS, Home Depot, etc., specifically state not to use with Al or Mag and Stainless Steel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) curious what others use. I’ve heard dawn is pretty effective, but wasn’t sure how good it really worked. Is this okay on magnesium? For some reason I thought this might discolor it. QUOTE(markhoward @ Dec 2 2020, 04:33 PM) I've had good luck with Dawn dishwashing liquid and water, sometimes adding some simple green. Idea came from this Pelican thread: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/911-engine-...rt-cleaner.html |
