Cleaning action & parts POST bedding

What's y'alls favorite way to clean up actions and parts post bedding job? You know, the parts that are now covered in some type of wax and or play dough.

I was thinking along the lines of an ultra sonic cleaner, but i wasnt sure if that was aggressive enough.
 
Use caution on anything blued in an ultrasonic. It'll unblue it. :)

For a stainless action, I don't mind stripping it and dropping it in the tank. Or just a microfiber towel and some alcohol
 
I had cautioned that in my mind. The current project i am doing is blued, so thanks for the heads up.

Those corners and crevices drive me crazy though doing it with towels and Q-tips and such.
 
OK, so the general consensus is that i need to stop complaining and clean the damn things.

I just wanted to know if there was some cool trick that i didnt know about.

Thanks guys!
 
When cleaning using alcohol or acetone, utilize an old toothbrush, works better than a toothpick. Some areas where clay and playdoh are used, you can simply cover up with tape and save the hassle when it comes to cleaning up.
 
Playdough is a great idea. A lot softer than the modeling clay I've been using.
The best thing about Play Doh is that it dries out and comes out easily.

Works good for lots of things. ;) -Al
