what do you use?

I normally use Midway Brass polish but it seems to be out of stock every time I go to the local gun shop.

I have seen various posts where folks use Turtle wax or Meguires cleaner/wax from the local auto store with great results.

Any of the liquid automotive cleaner/polishers seem to work just fine.

Any specific brand?

I need to swing by the auto store on my way home this afternoon...

NuFinish, I don`t use it but hear alot about it from those that do.

Woods,

I notice that the link is for a tube of paste.

I assume that you would dilute some paste in a liquid so that it can better mix with the tumbling media. What do you use?

Flitz's web site also lists the metal polish in a diluted liquid form.

Thanks for the info...

Liquid "Kit Car Wax" is what I normally use. Does fine on the Cases.

Plus they claim it is 100% Carnuba and I use it to "Wax" my Moly Coated bullets.

Any Car Wax should do.

I use a Lee Zip Trim

which holds the case, pull the rope and it spins like hell. After trimming, chamfering and cleaning the inside of the neck with steel wool, I spread a line of flitz on it. Spin it and hold a small sponge on it (out of the top of a bullet box) and then hold a rag against it and it will shine and put a protective coating on it.

This is the best stuff I've found.

The Lyamn Turbo Charger Media Reactivator.

I use Lyman corn cob media so I use thier reactivator too.

Gentlemen
I use a ultrasonic washing machine to clean the brass. First step is to use a normal household detergent in the water together with the brass to remove the oil/grease from the re-sizing step. After 5 minutes in the washer, rinse brass in water, add fresh water in ultrasonic machine, soak brass, add a zip of "kalkosan" (swedish polish detergent) and let machine work for 3 minutes. Brass comes up better than new. No scratches or abrasion. kalkosan bottle (in swedish) Contents: Phosforus acid, citricic acid, Non-ionic tensides, anti-bacterials, water, perfume. I am not sure that I translated the chemical stuff correctly, though this stuff should be found in any hardwarestore. It is used to disolve chalk/limestone pluggs in wc/showers, to polish copper and brass, remove iron residues from washbasins/kitchen zinks, It is disinfectant too. pH in concentrate 2.0, I use a cap to a pint of water with good results. Recomended dosage for brass and copper polishing is 1,5 dl kalkosan to 6 dl water (or, for US-citizens, roughly 1 coffee cup to a rim-filled pint glass). Its neat and effective. This makes me save hours of work. 100 cases all cleaned in less than 10 minutes time.

go to walmart and get some brasso best I have yoused

been using brasso in media for over 20 years and it's still my favorite. my brass has never rotted away and i have not had one person show me a case that was rotted by A M M O N I A.

by the way, i am a volume shooter. i do not use brasso on every tumble just the first time i polish cases. thats all thats needed.

let the flames begin.
