As goofy as it sounds... I still smile every time I see a batch of shiny brass!

Thank you for the reply but I tried that and it did not work. Not sure why, maybe the hard water that we have here?

Well if you want to try it again just to see... after separation of media- i put brass into a small 1 gal bucket of hot water and add say a tablespoon of AA W&W and swirl around with my hands for a minute. The key is to not rinse it again after this with plain water... I pour out the hot brass onto a beach towel and let a small fan blow over it for a few minutes (hot brass dries fast)

Anyway, here is a container I cleaned way back when I started loading a couple years ago-

The come out clean as a whistle and shiny but tarnish quickly after hitting the air. I then shine them up (so that I can find them after they have been shot) with corn cob (works better than walnut) and polish. FWIW, you probably got a coupon from NAPA Auto Parts in the mail that has $10.00 off on a $20.00 purchase. I used that to get some NuFinish polish at a bargain price (three bottles for $18.37 and that included sales tax).

I realize it's an old thread but in response to today's post:

If you'll use Armour All Wash & Wax instead of Dawn, and put a teaspoon or two in the rinse water, your brass won't ever tarnish... I can't distinguish the brass I cleaned Monday, from the brass I cleaned 2 years ago.
