Lead removal solution

I posted this on "Lead Boolits" a few days ago thinking that would be the best place but so far no replies. My question is does anyone know of a product or combination of ingredients that will put lead into a suspension so that can be either rinsed off or blown free with an air hose? So far every suggestion involved products like the Lewis lead remover for barrels, or 50 year old Hoppe's solvent. My issue is with something that can't be scrubbed and is a sealed unit, like a suppressor. I have the means to seal up the suppressor and safely dispose of the solution once it has done it's job. Any advice or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lloyd
 
My branson ultrasonic cleaner with simple green/water mix will make a sealed suppressor look new inside. The reason i say the brand is there are some what i call "play" ultrasonic cleaners on the market and they may not do the same job i just dont know. You stick your finger in mine and you can feel it in your toes

Have you tried Hydrogen Peroxide?
 
No, i haven't, but I read the hydrogen Peroxide mixed with vinegar (I think) works well but is very toxic.
 
Here is a direct quote from Gemtech as to what to NOT clean with. Never use any water-based cleaning agent for any firearms related purpose. Use only hydrocarbon based solvents. What wee suggest is either WD-40 or a mixture of 1 part ATF and 2 parts Minerial Spirits.
