If I was trying to process lot of parts, I would use a tumbler to polish after running through an ultrasonic. Mechanical cleaning devises are primarily time savers, but ultrasonic cleaners will clean mechanically inaccessible surfaces like inside a chain link, or a carburetor. In practice I use OMS or WD-40 and a toothbrush and a rag/ paper towel. But with the tonnage of bike parts and old tools collecting around me I am seriously considering finding an ultrasonic cleaner and maybe a tumbler. If you look on Ebay there are folks selling parts in various mechanical states, but spotlessly clean and polished. I figure that's what their using.
