I have been looking at the Lucas Extreme Bore Solvent for use in my ultrasonic cleaner.
The product description has the following:
- Cleans and protects your firearms, provides excellent rust protection.
- Low odor, pleasant grape scent, contains no ammonia, kerosene or water.
- Great for use in ultrasonic cleaners, solvent based formula requires no mixing, rinsing or oil dip after ultrasonic use, saving time and money.
- Ideal in heated units, flash point of 210° F is much safer than other
products


The interesting point is that it seems to act like a CLP that can be used in a heated ultrasonic cleaner.
Would this mean that I could clean parts, remove them and then not have to worry about drying and coating them immediately to prevent rusting?

I also am wondering if this means I could drop in an entire field-stripped handgun without worrying about a complete disassembly. There is a YouTube video out by a Lucas sponsored shooter in which he says that you shouldn't put in any assembled parts, but there is no explanation for why there would be a problem with this.
 
I guess nobody has had a chance to use this stuff?
I went and bought the large bottle of it and tried it out last night.
Feild stripped my CZ Shadow and put everything into the heated bath for two 8 minute cycles. The parts didn't all fit at once, so the frame was done separately. After the 16 minutes of cleaning I took the parts out, let the excess fluid drip back into the tank. Some parts were brushed a bit to clear up the carbon build-up but then after a quick dunk in to the tank were looking brand new.
Everything seems to have worked extremely well.

I will lubricate the slide rails and then get it out to the range tonight.

Assuming that there are no problems, this is such an amazing way to deep-clean a firearm.
