The last few that I have done, that gave me good results, is to place them in my ultrasonic washer with Simple Green and hot water. I'll run as many cycles as it takes to clean it. Some larger caps will require repositioning in the cleaner, though. I was able to get the big tuning cap on my model 95 in there using several cycles. Then I rinse in warm water and place in a low oven to dry out. I have done this to caps, both with and without trimmer caps. So far I have never had an issue. The aluminum always comes out spotless. The cad plated steel frames just come out clean.

After drying I add a few drops of Tri-flow lubricant to the bearings. Unless someone can suggest something better to lube them up, it has been working for me.
