We, wipe clean of oil grease, solvent tank, jet wash, then (depending on part) glass bead blast/ultrasonic/hand clean.

What solvent are you using?

Most recently Wurth Eco Part Wash solvent. Nothing is submerged, it is used in the parts wash tank with a running stream out of the nozzle and brushes.

I finally broke down and bought a small parts washer. I don't really have the room for a full size unit so I picked up a Jegs 5 gallon (holds 3.5g of solvent) unit. I added a parts washer brush on a hose as well as an additional splash guard using some rubber and aluminum to keep it from splashing out the back through the hinge (biggest complaint I saw online). I am very happy with it! All in I think I am around $130 for the washer including the few upgrades mentioned.

For solvent I am using PSC-1000 from Tractor supply for $44.99 per 5gal can.

Below is my first part through the washer. The PSC-1000 has a very slight smell, nothing like mineral sprits.

First pic is part way through cleaning.

I am about to clean my 75 911s engine, and I would like to try diesel fuel.
