In this video I show my technique and products I use to clean watch parts as partof my service regime. It is very important to clean parts before rebuilding a movement otherwise it will most likely not perform well.
This is how I do it and I get very good results though using a 3 wash cycle using different products to clean with.
I have done separate videos on products you can use and a review on my ultrasonic cleaner. Links below.

About me: My name is Mike and I am a hobbyist watchmaker. I am completely self-taught in watch repair and restoration. My channel is all about my journey of hobbyist of watchmaking. I have watch repair tutorials, watch restorations and watch repair videos. Some of my content you can easily follow along to if you are working on the same watch movement. My main focus is to document my journey and inspire more people into this wonderful hobby and demonstrate that this hobby can be very rewarding. I do not profess to be a professional watchmaker and in my videos, I show all my mistakes, mishaps, highs and lows and keep everything as honest as possible. It is easy to edit all the mistakes out and make my videos look perfect but I believe that keeping it real reflects the true reality of this hobby. So, what are you waiting for? please check out my watch repair and restoration videos, get inspired and start your own watchmaking journey. #watchrepair #watchrestoration #watchmaking
