    Saw this on Hemmings motor news. I have a black &Decker sander just like this, so I think this hack may be on my to do list over the Holidays.

    Not actually ultra-sonic. But okay.

    Looks like it worked pretty well. I'd be more worried about that CLR eating completely through the aluminum, that stuff is great but nasty.

    He should do a side-by-side comparison. One with the sander, and one with just the CLR. I’m curious how much of it is just the 1:15 soak in CLR.

    I think someone here once
    tried simple green on some locking hubs . 24 hours later no hub / just holes
    CLR is great for cleaning shower heads :D
