[QUOTE="John@redmt, post: 1654665, member: 109410"] There is definitely a difference in machined quality on dies. When I get a new die set the first thing I do is disassemble and polish the insides. First I use a fine Cratex if necessary and then Jewelers Rouge on a cotton buffing mandrel in a Dremel tool. I had noticed scratches on newly cleaned brass so came up with a way of polishing out the insides of the dies. As far as cleaning them, I think that whatever method out of all the above suggestions above, you can't go wrong. Myself with the polished dies, a couple squirts of solvent, brake cleaner, whatever and a quick wipe out works great on a dissembled die. Make sure if you use brake cleaner to wipe them out before it dries. [/QUOTE]
