[Jewelry making - Article 00090] - [Orchid] Cleaning after polishing

    Please can someone tell me what is the best way of removing compound
    residue from intricate pieces after polishing. I am finding that the
    ammonia works well if I scrub with a brush into the nooks and
    crannies but this ends up ruining a previously mirror finish. Should
    I invest in an ultrasonic cleaner? How well do these work with
    gemset pieces - does it depend on the cleaning solution? Are there
    any big no-nos? 

    This is my big bugbear at the moment!! 

Thanks, Mel
