Cleaning Suppressors With Ultrasonic Cleaner

[Yeadon]

Picked up an Ultrasonic Cleaner at Harbor Freight for $74.99 and some Purple Power cleaner for $5.99 at O'reilly Auto Parts.





I used a 50/50 mix of the Purple Power cleaner and water.



After three 8 minute cycles. I did a total of six 8 minute cycles.


The finished product!!!

No scrubbing what so ever? Or minimal scrubbing after?

Great post!

Forty-eight minutes (six 8-minute cycles) is a loooong time in an ultrasonic cleaner, relative to what most folks do for average gun parts. Do you think it really took that long to get it clean? Or were you just "making sure"?

I'm just curious. I don't own a suppressor, and don't know anything about cleaning them.

First time trying it so I probable over killed it.

I know the feeling . . . I remember when I got mine, I was looking around for ANYTHING that I could try in it! It's a good thing that I didn't own a cat at the time.

I still look... Each time I break mine out (BTW - Same one as you Yeadon), I try and find more stuff to clean..

Is that why you don't have a cat now

I won't tell Tera or Shannon... just between us (internet and everyone else but them).


He even has the WaGuns Hat positioned so well for product placement. Nice!

If you give that bad boy 10 minutes or so to get nice and hot it cleans a lot better. Simple Green and Oxy Clean work great also. You can run aluminum in the ultra sonic cleaner but be very careful what cleaner you use as it will eat the anodizing. For aluminum shit I use just plain dish soap in the ultra sonic. Is there a reason not to clean the aluminum suppressor baffles in an ultra sonic?

With Purple power not sure if you needed a cleaner that stuff is Great at cleaning caked on oil on motors. A used car salemans Idea of a leak free motor.
