People here are getting damned irresponsible, not saying exactly WHAT they are recommending or intending to do. Two things; ONE - "Ultrasonic" just means "shaking". You could tape a $5 aquarium pump to the outside of a tin bucket to make an "ultrasonic" cleaner. It was ultrasonic cleaning that got all those people butt infected by those butt cameras a few years ago, remember?
Hoppe's is just great all by itself, aside from the cost of filling a bucket with it. It's also improved by adding a can of Nitro #9 - That's get's it back to it's old pre-EPA formulation.
Hoppe's #9 is basically equal parts ethanol (denatured alcohol - A powerful water scavenger) and kerosene (dissolves almost all oils, waxes, and greases), a jigger of ammonia (removes jacket fowling), plus a generous dash of 3-in-1 oil (for folks who refuse to lube) and a spare dash of amyl acetate (for the SMELL). There seems to be a general ignorance of the magical properties of kerosene in this thread.
