Ultrasonic cleaning/vapor honing questions Options

[DBF]

I'm bring my barn find BB back on the road and thinking of buying an ultrasonic cleaner to clean smaller parts. Anyone else using this technique and any recommendations for the home hobbyist?

My fan housing and air intakes are very grungy. I was planning to just scrub with degreaser and maybe a pressure washer, but there are a couple companies near me that offer vapor honing. Anyone try vapor honing on these parts?

Thanks

I started using vapor blasting a couple years ago when I restored a motorcycle. I sent away some really crusty corroded parts and got back parts that looked almost new. The owner of the Porsche shop was so impressed, he bought a machine. It’s a bit overkill. You can actually climb inside to clean it. The downside is it takes a large commercial air supply and the shop needed to buy some sort of electrical transformer. The liquid blast media comes out like a fire hose and parts only take a minute or two once they are prepped.
