Good point! It's actually rather fun to watch the valves on the first cycle. It is amazing indeed, and almost hypnotic to watch the oil and dirt stream and bubble off of the valves.

Having worked in two different repair shops, I've seen the difference between a traditional "chem cleaning" and ultrasonic cleaning. Obviously, different shops will use thier own mix of chemicals (not actually needed for the cleaning of the horn; usually used as a brightener), which may make a slight difference, but it's the most effective, safest way to clean horns. I'm still always amazed at the amount of rouge and other buffing compounds you can see billowing out of a "new" horn... so you can imagine the goo that comes out of a well used horn. It has the ability to get to those little places in your horn that normally can't be cleaned effectively. Around here (Utah) it costs around $70 for a double horn.
