My Frankford additive gets hard too, I just use a screwdriver to bust it up & add a little water to turn it back to a liquid. Works fine after that. Keep it sealed in cooler area & it won’t get hard.

Crest whitening toothpaste.

I'm sure a few of us remember toothpaste and cigarette ashes cleaning brass.

My dress A's smelled minty fresh more than once.

Not sure I'd want that any where near my tumbler though.

Best smelling shiny brass ever! Mineral and Nu Wax

Car wax, lots of flavors for dry. (I liked Flitz tumbler polish when I was dry tumbling)

I would not recommend adding car wax to wet.
I tried it once thinking shinier brass. Nope.
Everything came out covered with grey slime, major pain to clean the brass, pins and inside of the tumbler.
If anyone has done it and it worked I would be interested to hear about it.
For me it was a major mistake, hours cleaning up the mess.
