I use a table spoon of biological clothes washing liquid and a 1/3 tea spoon of citric acid. That was the recommendation from JDReloading when I bought a Rebel17 tumbler from them.
I tumble for about 2 hours total, binning the black sludgy water after 1.5 hours and refilling with clean and tumbling for 30 mins.

I was using about a teaspoon of Apple flavoured washing up liquid and a teaspoon and a half of citric.
Comes out looking great.

A few months ago, I switched to using car 'wash and wax' instead. Apparently, the carnauba wax may protect the brass (preventing dulling) and help with resizing (replaces lube). My personal jury is still out on this- I think the Turtle Wax i picked up cheap isn't that good, it still seems to tarnish.... Should have gone Armourall or Meguiars maybe...
