stainless steel media brass cleaning recipe

[physeptone]

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...

Funilly enough I only ever used Sea clean in mine until I read this, tried a squirt of fairy liquid and it made a hell of a difference.

I tend to just rinse them in as hot a water as I can then shake them out and leave them on a towel to dry or bung them in an old sock and leave them on the rad. I am lucky as I can came as much mess as I like in the utility room

The only slight niggle is that the STM will peen the case mouth edge a bit, but I run all cases through a 3in1 cutter after each sizing anyway. We cycle pretty quickly so the nice shiny cases help avoid poor feeds...hopefully

I would not use anything else now
