My gun cleaning service uses the Infante S-30 commercial ultrasonic firearm cleaner to ensure a professional and thorough cleaning of your firearm.
Using high-frequency sound waves transmitted through a liquid cleaning solution, this process effectively and safely removes contaminants in every nook and cranny of your firearm’s surface. As the sound waves agitate the solution, the molecules form bubbles that implode, forcefully dislodging any unwanted residue.
This advanced cleaning technique ensures the removal of even the toughest carbon build-up, leaving your firearm looking and functioning at its best.
Rest assured that my team takes great care in providing a meticulous and professional gun cleaning service for all my clients.
An Infante ultrasonic gun cleaner is designed specifically for guns - unlike other brands that sell re-purposed ultrasonic cleaners originally developed for cleaning other products. Infante gun cleaners are only intended to ultrasonic clean gun parts!
Infante developed Sonic Tonic™, a biodegradable, Prop 65 Compliant, non-hazardous ultrasonic gun cleaning solution. It is more efficient than the harsher chemicals because it was developed with the environment, shooter safety and effective ultrasonic gun parts cleaning in mind. Others use chemicals that are either not environmentally-friendly, don’t work well, or have no real track record. Infante has millions of gun parts ultrasonic cleaned & tested with their solutions.
Infante’s Sonic Lube™ is a Prop 65 Compliant moisture displacing gun parts metal protectant. Ultrasonic lubrication is a required part of the Infante gun cleaning process that uses the tanks ultrasonic energy to displace trapped moisture that may remain from the gun cleaning process and leaves a light protective shield on the gun parts. The same deep gun cleaning frequency and cavitation that worked to clean your gun parts, will force metal protectant into every assembly and protect the gun parts inside and out.
The Infante Ultrasonic gun cleaning system is a dual-frequency ultrasonic, high and low frequency to have a fine and rough cleaning simultaneously.
Ultrasonics work by creating cavitation in the fluids that use bubbles and agitation to pull dirt and contaminants away from the surfaces.
The front tank uses a water-based biodegradable detergent (Sonic Tonic) that is heated to 131 degrees F.
The disassembled firearm is placed into the wire basket and submerged into the solution for 5 to 7 minutes.
I use a circulating filter system that filters down to 1 micron.
The parts are removed and blown off with compressed air to dry and remove any of the solution.
The parts are then placed into the rear tank using a moisture displacing metal protectant and lubrication (Sonic Lube), also at 131 degrees F. for 5 to 7 minutes.
The parts are again removed and blown off with compressed air and wiped clean.
The firearm is inspected, lubricated as required, and re-assembled. All firearm parts are able to be cleaned except wood, electronic, and sensitive components
Ultrasonic cleaning is a highly effective alternative to traditional gun cleaning methods. With traditional approaches, there is often a laborious process, and some areas are difficult to reach. However, ultrasonic cleaning solves these issues with ease.
The first bath uses a powerful cleaner does the majority of the work in a fraction of the time required by traditional methods. The special liquid solution utilized penetrates deeper into the firearm components, accessing areas that would remain untouched by a brush or Q-Tip.
The second lubricating bath ensures
Consequently, this up-to-date firearm cleaning method has become increasingly adopted as the new industry standard in many professional gunsmith shops.
It is widely recommended by firearm manufacturers that owners clean their firearms after each use to ensure optimal performance.
While some owners may choose to clean their firearms after a few shooting sessions or after a couple of hundred rounds, it is important to note that traditional cleaning methods may not effectively remove all carbon deposits over time.
I advise firearm owners to consider professional cleaning after every few sessions or after firing 500-1000 rounds. Firearms that have been stored for long periods may also require cleaning, as dust, particles, and moisture can accumulate and affect performance.
By having your firearm professionally cleaned, you can ensure that it is functioning at its best and enjoy a longer lifespan for your firearm.

My ultrasonic cleaning uses high-frequency sound waves in a specialized cleaning solution to reach every part of your firearm, including tight crevices that traditional methods miss.
