Sgtmax Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Buy an ultrasonic cleaner instead How much more effective are these then tumblers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiredoug Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Its kinda same but different. It won’t polish. It will make “really clean”. Great for taking off cigarette smoke and oxide and stuff. Great for plastic posts. But if you want mad shine you need to get the polishing wheel out too. Then again it takes 25 mins not three days - - - Updated - - - Also really good for grotty flipper buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
