Tried different product the other night and I just had to share it!
Have tumbled my brass for years in fine walnut from Harbour Freight and done it dry, with dryer sheets, with drop of Lemishine, Dillons case polish, etc.
Most of the the time I use just a half "pat of butter" of Mothers mag wheel polish. Tumble for 3 hours and it gets everything but the nastiest of range brass look real nice.
Yesterday I decided to pick up (I was at the auto store anyway) some Turtle Wax Chrome & Metal polish. Dumped in about 250 rds of .45 brass, some of which was desert pickup and checked it an hour later. ONE HOUR and very tarnished brass looks like new factory!
This metal polish is about the consistency of mustard and squeezes out of the bottle. I put in a couple tablespoons in the walnut and ran for 20 mins to mix, prior to adding brass. Since addition of Turtle wax product, I have run an additional ~500 rds of other sorted brass and the media is retaining its cleaning ability very well.
Cut my run time on cleaning brass by more than half!
