    Richard, A rinse and brush with a mix of ammonia, water and dish soap
    (use a soft old toothbrush for great results) will remove much of the
    rouge prior to the ultrasonic.  That way, the ultra is only working
    to remove the small amount you haven't been able to get by hand. 
    It's pretty amazing how much you can remove just with a toothbrush
    and ammonia -- I rarely use the ultra to take off rouge unless the
    piece is very heavily filigreed or textured and it's trapped where I
    can't get to it. 

Best of luck,
