This^^^I have the Frankford arsenal Rotary Tumblr I just use a dash of lemi shine and a small squirt of dawn the water is hot as it comes out of my tap I rinse View attachment 222119twice with hot water as well but the secret to shiny brass is polishing in a vibratory Tumblr afterward with walnut hull media and a small squirt of white diamond metal polish
my process is exactly the same. works great. I did however switch from the stainless steel pins to the stainless chips. Seems to do a better job of cleaning out the inside of the case and primer pockets.After the cases come out of the Frankford arsenal Tumblr I dry them with a heat gun I squirt the polish into the walnut hull media in the vibratory Tumblr let it run for 10 or 15 minutes to spread it out so you do not get a chunk of it inside the brass then I will polish the brass in the vibratory Tumblr for one and a half to two hours after they are done there they get blown out with compressed air and the reloading process begins

If you refer to previous posts you will find your answers.All,
I recently got a rotary tumbler and it works great. The weird thing is, when the brass firsts comes out it is really shiny but as it dries in my dryer (food dehydrator) I start to get these kind of clouds of swirls making them look less shiny. I am using the frankford arsenal cleaning solution as an FYI. Any tips or tricks? Thanks!
I don't even use distilled water just water right out of the tapI used this same recipe when using the SS pins & they are always shiny & clean, I found the Pins to be a real pain so I switched to Brass Juice. Just use 2 oz. of Brass Juice to 1 gallon of distilled water & rinse with hot water, could not be any easier & you can reuse the same solution several times.
