The reason for the padlock on the final jet clean was people were constantly bringing in horrible, dirty crap that had no business even being put in a jet cleaner. They would even sneak this crap in over the weekends and just ruin the water and scum up the tank. We were able to put a stop to it that way. It takes time and money to keep the washers clean. Every week or two is amazing.

QC used to perform patch tests to check the cleanliness of the blocks. If you've cleaned a rifle or pistol, you're familiar with the cleaning patches we used. QC would select a block, run a clean patch through a selected oil gallery and log the results.
