[HELP] Ultrasonic cleaning solutions

[Old Minger]

Just picked up a good deal on an ultrasonic cleaner. Can anybody recommend a good product for cleaning mild steel and also for aluminum.

Thanks 
John

Not necessary, it's a valid question.

Just looking at the Home Depot website for Simple Green. Seems there are quite a few variants, which one is best for aluminum, any ideas?

Here to keep from repeating myself I C&P what I  posted on the other thread that I thought was this one


Without knowing what you are cleaning I found that Simple green has a suggestion link categorizing the intended purpose of the product .

I for one am amazed, how this product has changed over the years. I stumbled onto it about 1980, looking for a cleaner to use for my bike. They had one mix, it was safe on paint, did not kill the grass and did one hell of a job keeping the motor and all the aluminum cleaned up

Note: Purple Power not for aluminum
