I shoot my CBPs a lot. It's a real pain to get the hard, caked on crud out of the cylinder chambers. Has anyone used a product one can soak a cylinder in to break the crud up? If you are going to tell me to use a brush, please don't.

I use a .45 or .38 brass jag with patches soaked in rubbing alcohol, I stick it in and twist it around. It gets all the fouling out of the bottom of the chambers.

I took 4 to the range once and it was a little boring after the 3rd one, like ok good this is the last oneI do similar to the rest of the posts, except I don't use soap, just HOT water.
I've been using Lubriplate white lithium grease on the nipples. I rarely pull them and when I do, the grease is still there, hard at work, it doesn't wash off.
I don't find cleaning up to be a chore unless I have more than 3, it's just more quality time with my revolvers.
I will second this, Windex cuts fouling NOW. I used to use it cleaning my rolling block. 100 shots of black powder cartridges, blast of Windex, wipe out and oil.Windex with ammonia, followed by Shooter's Choice Polymer Safe Quick Scrub, then G-96 Gun Treatment, RIG on the arbor and nipple threads.
The obvious idea of using a jag went right by my addled head, thanks.I use a .45 or .38 brass jag soaked in rubbing alcohol, I stick it in and twist it around. It gets all the fouling out of the bottom of the chambers. I don't use a brush on anything.
I read somewhere not to use the regular SG but the one with the purple label that will not damage the finish.I purchased an ultrasonic cleaner from harbor freight. I disassembled my revolver and drop the pieces in it for a few minutes. It works really well. I use a 50 50 mix of water and simple green all purpose cleaner.
How many times have you done this? Has it affected the finish at all? I used large ultrasonic for surgical instruments and could mar the finish depending on the instrument composition.I purchased an ultrasonic cleaner from harbor freight.
