Here's a link to an explication of cleaning by electrolyisis. I've used
this technique with good results on parts up to 16" jeep wheel size with a
10 amp battery charger. Rigging tanks large enough to do a flotation tank
in might be a challenge and you might want to try a larger size charger as
there seems to be a relation between current used and how long it takes to
do a complete job.
