[QUOTE="planetwaves, post: 1577735, member: 84697"] I use Frankford Arsenal Brass Cleaning Solution. My tumbler has a 7 liter (7.4 quart) capacity and the instructions call for 4 cap fulls of the solution (a smaller tumbler would use proportionally less). After tumbling for up to two hours, drain out the dirty water and rinse thoroughly to remove solution and dirt inside and outside of cases (there are various ways of doing this). Note: I just use tap water for the entire process and have had no issues with tarnishing, etc. Then drain the water from cases and dry. I use a cookie sheet in the oven at 200 degrees for an hour. Brass comes out looking like new. Although steel pin media came with my tumbler, I have never used it. Once through the above process has been adequate. [/QUOTE]
