About 10 minute process. 1. I put my brass in a transparent bluish plastic bottle container (got from walmart $4 meant for drinking water) 2. Put my brass in and pour in boiling until brass is 1 inch under. 3. Let it sit for 5 minutes for water to work on the crud.
The active ingredient is citric acid. It looks, smells and acts exactly like the Birchwood Casey Liquid Cartridge Case Cleaner, only a lot cheaper! Pour enough in a blastic container (I use a cut down gallon bleach bottle) to cover the cases. Leave in solution for 15 minutes, drain, rinse, and set cartridges out to dry.

First, the "LSD" treatment: Go to Walmart/grocery store/wherever, and buy a can of LemiShine; it will be with the dishwasher soap stuff. Be sure and get the powder form, not gel or packets. Take a container with a lid, add a 45 acp case full of the LemiShine, a squirt of Dawn, and fill half full of HOT tapwater.
2 cap fulls of Nu Finish and 2 tablespoons of Mineral spirits with each or every other load of brass (depends on how clean the brass comes out). Sometimes the media appears wet, but the spirits will evaporate. Since the brass comes out like new, media gets dirty faster.
Classifieds. 3.8k. Gender:Male. Location:God's Country. Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) A 25/75 mix of Nu Finish and mineral spirits. A squirt does it. Tumble for about 20 mins before adding brass. Edited November 27, 2019 by RePete.
I currently wet tumble in a frankford rotary with 2 tablespoons dish soap, and 1/2 teaspoon lemishine, 5 pounds of pins, gallon of water. Then dry in a food dehydrator. I tried the dish soap thing for a while and .45 brass hung up really bad in my flare/charge die. Also made resizing 9mm really hard.
As for a vibratory case cleaner, I use the Dillon CV-2001. It is simply amazing. It runs so smooth and cleans a ton of brass at one time. I also use the Dillon CM-2000 case/media separator and it makes removing media an absolute breeze. Before these items, which are expensive, I have used several different case cleaners. These are the easiest.
Add brass till 5 gal bucket is half full (my homemade tumbler uses a 5 gal bucket for the bin) 45 case full of lemishine. 12 squirts of gain hand soap. I then separate with some old mesh trash cans from the dollar store. Then brass goes into those mesh bags for delicate laundry and those are placed in cheap cookie pans to collect excess water
High concentrations are not needed. Citric acid is the active ingredient in home-made brass cleaners that use lemon juice. Same stuff. To use, pour enough boiling-hot water into a large glass (or non-metal) bowl to cover your dirty brass. Add the citric acid and give it a quick stir with a non-metal spoon.
