Yeah, I have done CLR baths. They work great but never full strength, I dilute a bottle in enough water to cover the horn. I let them soak for an hour or longer and then use the brass saver kit to scrub em out. I find cleaning with brass saver to be pretty passive and usually end up using something a little stiffer.

It could get insane expensive to use it pure as well. I clean my valves a lot more often than my horns so I can't say I have used it on valves. I have had good luck with the cheap generic stuff too. It does work though.
