Cruisin' on my Bluebird
The varsol tank is a great idea on bike parts.
As far as the ultrasonic goes, I learned to do my own organic extraction analysis as a freshman laboratory engineer (taught by the scientist who wrote the ASTM spec on IR analysis), so I have all organic solvents down pat.
Mineral spirits is the best choice for removing old lubricants.
Denatured alcohol is the choice for removing the thin residues after mineral spirits.
Hexane is the safest choice for old rubber and plastic.
You can buy any of these at your local hardware store.
