I am still learning about it. So far, the biggest variable is the amount of time spent in the cleaner. Figuring out the concentration of cleaner and type is still another variable. I am using a cleaner at about 5% concentration at the moment. I'll include links below.
Anyway, I am impressed. A nice tool for cleaning things. I selected this one because it was big enough to fit most mid-sized parts and not terribly expensive. I also liked the digital display versus the *****. There are plenty to choose from. Hard to make an informed decision without data.

Do you happen to remember the settings that you used - etc. temp and time. I'm planning to do the same but I'm a bit cautious what comes to the aluminium or other sensitive metals or parts. And esp. here when there are different metals joined together.
I know chemicals play the role here but if we assume that the cleaning fluid is good for sensitive metals what's left are indeed time and temp variables.
That result looks incredibly good so it would be nice to know the sercret.

No secret. As warm as you can take and as long as it takes. Try 30 minutes. If it needs more time, just set the timer again.
