 saw this advertised at staverton park today - http://www.sonicgolf.co.uk/ultra.htm didn't take any more notice though - i just assumed they had a giant cage full of trained bats armed with scrubbing brushes.... Anyone seen / tried?

 Should work OK: Opticians use the same ultrasonic cleaning tank to clean up specs. Worked a treat the last time I asked my optician to degrease my specs.

 anyone know the best was to clean tea off my laptop...

 Fen - I use baby wipes to clean my laptop screen and keyboard. Dry off the excess gently with some kitchen roll and its as good as new!

 Ultrasonics are excellent at cleaning in nooks and crannies due to the constant creation and destruction of thousands of bubbles thousands of times per second. The electronics industry has used ultrasonics for PCB cleaning for years even with their delicate components. The only concern I would have is that with clubs with bits bonded on to the back (like my MX-900s and many more these days) I woud be unsure of the long term effect on the fixing.

 Got one of these sonic machines at my club - may give it a go later. ps I find baby wipes smear the screen - couple of drops of washing up liquid in water works for me!

 I used to use an ultrasonic machine at a range I used to frequent.... it was excellent and did a superb job of removing the crud from the grooves AND from the back of clubs where it might not be easy to get a brush/sponge into (e.g for clubs like Miz MX-25s with "overhanging cavities". Also 30 secs upside down and your grips are spotless as well.

 Have used the one at Trent Park which was superb, only £5 to wash the whole set including the grips.

 thats where i got it wrong yesterday then i should have cleaned the clubs  .

 Is there any problem with these Sonic cleaners Messing with the Adhesives that stick the heads to the Shafts? Surely the Sonic waves they use permeate through the head weakening the Grip/Contact? I saw one being used at the Oxfordshire yesterday and would not like to put my hand in the water/Cleaning solution when it was in operation!

 dont put your hands in, 1) it will hurt - used to play this game with other lab rats back in the day- a perverse game of endurance. 2)the cleaning solution is normally pretty agressive and will remove oil form your skin and may irritate your skin as well. I have found washing by hand quite theraputic, also if you have had a bad game - do a Bernard Langer - leave them outside in a bucket of cold water, all night.

Whaaat?????? - Angelo, I spend less than that cleaning the bl**dy car. I don't clean the car by hand because it takes too long and £3 through the carwash at my local garage is worth it.
It only takes me 10 minutes max. to thorughly clean a set of clubs by hand - that is sooooo expensive...... no...... really, that is soooooooooooooo expensive.

Taz - that's an idea - maybe I'll slip the local Kosovan car wash an extra couple of quid for cleaning the bats as well as the wheels!!!

TBH... I clean my clubs myself these days too Taz and I re-sharpen the old wedge grooves every month. Its costs £7.50 to get them Ultrasound cleaned at my club now...too much.... it was £5 a few years ago which seemed not too bad when I was playing Callaway cavity backs in winter mud - a real PITA to clean. Dunno about using a a mechanised car wash...I have heard too many stories about damage to vehicles etc and its £10 for a hand wash by illegals down near me in Norff Laundan. You are just lucky Gordon's economic policies stop north of Watford

 you can buy yourself a franchise for £15000 in the back of Golf Monthly......
