Lyman Turbo Sonic Gun Parts Cleaning Solution, 16 oz Concentrate

Description

Ultrasonic cleaning only works as well as the fluid you pour in the tank, and Lyman built this one specifically for steel and stainless steel. The Turbo Sonic Gun Parts Cleaning Solution is a concentrate that mixes with water and goes after oil, dirt, carbon buildup, and powder residue on barrels, cylinders, slides, bolts, and other metal components. It plays nicely with the Lyman Turbo Sonic cleaners and pretty much any other ultrasonic unit, so you're not locked into one machine.

The big advantage here is separation of duties. Lyman makes a dedicated brass case solution and a separate steel and gun parts solution for a reason, and this is the one you want for firearm components rather than brass. Using the right chemistry for the right metal is what gets you a deep, even clean instead of a half-finished job.

Getting the Most Out of Your Turbo Sonic Gun Parts Solution

A little goes a long way since this is a concentrate. Most folks run somewhere around a 20:1 or 40:1 mix depending on how grimy the parts are, and a heavier ratio handles baked-on fouling like carbon inside a slide or on stainless components. Wipe off any heavy oil before parts go in the tank, run a quick degas cycle with a fresh batch, and you'll get cleaner results faster. Heat helps too, which is why the tank and warm solution work as a team to lift stubborn residue.

Why the Turbo Sonic Solution Earns a Spot on the Bench

Reloaders and gunsmiths keep this one around because it does exactly what it claims. It's a proven pick for cleaning reloading dies and mould blocks along with firearm parts, and it delivers consistent results batch after batch. If you already own an ultrasonic cleaner and you've been fighting carbon with brushes and solvent rags, this concentrate makes that whole job a lot less tedious.
