I have the RCBS Vibratory Cleaner and I like it very much... seems to work quite well.
I've been using 1/2 corn cob and 1/2 walnut media with no additive... I prefer to keep the media as dry as possible because I don't like the film that results from using any kind of case polish. However, my question is, what's the fastest way to clean dirty brass... I mean dirty - once fired stuff. It takes about 6-8 hours to get them clean enough to where I would be comfortable running them through my dies!
I've read this stuff works really well... and being a liquid I wonder if it wouldn't leave behind all that much residue? It supposedly cuts tumbling time in half!
Flitz Additive:

I also use - used dryer sheets in my tumbler to help absorb some of the crud from the brass as it's tumbling. This seem to help keep the media a little cleaner!
Anybody have any good tips or "home remedies" for cleaning brass or some suggestions about things I can try to shorting my tumbling time and still get shinny brass more quickly?
