[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 1311273, member: 17844"] Yes don't leave the bullet for more than it takes to see the tarnish disappear . Otherwise you are just dissolving some of the jacket over time . Wash off well with warm water to neutralize any acid residue . The process does show you that even a new bullet has some slight amount of tarnish and or greasy grime on it that is best removed to do a good coating job. I have just done some research on Comet Cleaner and on the MSDS if I have the right one says it has Chlorine and Caustic Soda in it . THAT IS VERY BAD FOR BRASS ! It's an alkaline not an acid , I can't see Citric Acid in it . maybe I have the wrong product but users need to do their own research on what they are using and if it contains any alkaline substance don't use it . Sure it will clean wonderful because it dissolves the jacket quick but it also HARDENS the brass . Please check I have the right product MSDS [url]https://www.cla.purdue.edu/polsci/documents/safetydocs/msdadocs/PG_Professional_Comet_Cleaner_with_Bleach_msds.pdf[/url] [/QUOTE]
