Mr. Dean Sir, I'm not sure but the bottle says it contains Potassium Silicate (Cas# 1312-76-1) and Triethanolamine (Cas# 102-7106) and in case you get thirsty, it says don't drink it. Before I used Turbo Sonic I used Dawn on a gun and it spotted the case colors. I'm glad the gun belonged to a friend. I don't know if it was the Dawn or the chemicals in our water, or a combination of the two. Turbo Sonic has always done a great job. I used it on George Purtells C grade, over 100 hours total, and it did what I thought was impossible. I don't know how to describe the condition of George's gun when he first got it. But it's a very beautiful gun now. Maybe George will comment. Cheers, Tom

I know George Purtill's C-hammer gun very well. He left it with me to photograph it for the article in Parker Pages. It's hard to believe the finished product started as something others would have written off as 'hardly worth the effort". Nice work Tom.

The one I have in the sonic tank right now using paint thinner seems to have had its case color enhanced by the sonic process or at least brought out more vividly than I had expected - but maybe it's just because the crud is entirely gone.
