Ultrasonic cleaner

[MarioR]

Hi Guys,

So long story short, Robert recommended to use Chem Crest 235. In my area, this solution is not available.

I know.... could be order overseas but exploring options to be cost efficient if possible.

What other alternative you guys use with factory effect?

I used many different green solution that are "safe for aluminum"  but I was not happy with the results.

Always darken carbs and dull. Used aluminum brighter to clean residue.....and looks okay but should be better.

What to use to make them as a factory shinny aluminum ?

Cheers

Have a look at this topic from earlier this week.

When we run out of the Chemcrest, we'll be searching for a new product as well. Ultrasonic technology and supply products has increased over the years, so there are now new things out on the market compared to when I starter using ultrasonic 20+ years ago.

Hey Mario - I had been having the same problems with my ultra sonic cleaning solutions.  Tried several without satisfactory results.

After the Chem-Crest 235 was suggested by Robert, I bought some. It is pretty expensive and I could only locate a 4 gallon purchase (smallest). BUT - I am very happy with the results - best results I have ever achieved and perfect sheen / finish. I can't use all that I have so if you are interested I would sell a gallon. I paid $375 for the 4 gallons so $90 USD plus shipping.

I think I could send it to you person to person without issue.

Let me know.

Hi Tim,

I really appreciate your help.

I think shipping across the border might be quite expensive, and sending any liquids could potentially be an issue as well.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Best regards,
Mario

Hi Mario -

You might be right about cost to ship - not sure. If you want to PM me with a Canadian Postal Code / address, I'll look into it a bit and try to find out. 

I did check the restricted items list and it appears to be "OK" to send non-flammable liquid that is properly packaged and labeled. Chem-Crest comes in a sturdy 1-gallon plastic jug. Four of them were in a thick cardboard box with no other packaging material when they shipped to me.
