[QUOTE="clintbailey, post: 2149567, member: 8544"] Not sure if I'm behind the times (as usual), but I just found out about these brass cleaning tricks a month or two ago, and thought I would share. 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. Dump brass in, and shake up good. I usually leave mine soaking overnight. When you're ready to take them out, dump them out and rinse well; I use a cheap kitchen colander. Let them dry for a while, or use a hair dryer,air compressor, etc, some people even dry them in the oven. I just air dry in the sun on an old towel. Also, I decap/size before this so it will clean the primer pockets better. Next, after they dry, I throw them in the tumbler. I use corn cob media myself, and add a used dryer sheet, cut into 4 pieces, and a capfull of NuFinish car polish. I only add the polish every 5/6 loads; the dryer sheet squares cuts way down on the dust from the media, and change them out every load. This is just my method, but after the LSD soak, I can get my brass cleaner and shinier in just 2-3 hours of tumbling than I used to in 12-18 hours+ in the tumbler alone. Hope this benefits some yall!
