Currently I have frankford arsenal vibratory tumbler with corn cob media and polishing liquid.
I've been reading a lot about wet tumbling.
1. Rotary Tumbler with stainless steel media, lemi shine, and dishwasher soap.
2. Rotary Tumbler with citric acid and water
3. Citric acid and water in a bucket.
It seems like I can clean my brass with citric acid and water in a bucket for 10-20 minutes then let them dry and put them in my vibratory tumbler to polish the brass for a nice shine? What exactly does the stainless steel media do if I can just clean the brass with water and citric acid?
