Questions & Answers
I cleaned the carbon deposits on a stainless steel barrel with this and a soft cloth. The carbon deposits and other dirt were removed from the barrel, and I saw no damage to the barrel as a result of using Flitz. Because stainless steel is much harder than brass and copper, it should not be damaged, but Flitz does an excellent job of cleaning and fine polishing it.
NU- has never been tried before. finish heard it works well, the Flitz gives a great shine, but I switched to wet tumbling, which is more expensive up front but results in cases that are as good as new, including primer pockets if deprimed first, car wash and wax citric acid for wet. br>I'd recommend giving the Flitz a go.
This appears to be for brass polishing; however, a copper polisher would probably be a better fit. Tumblers aren't as important; they all vibrate and tumble in the same way.
This appears to be a dry media setting. When using stainless steel media in a wet environment, it is necessary to use a detergent. This Flitz additive helps clean brass ammo casings quickly and effectively, even if they are extremely dirty or tarnished.

I'm an incredible person. After the snow melted at a popular shooting location, my friend and I picked up two five gallon buckets of brass. We used water to wash away the mud and other debris. The brass appeared to be in poor condition. We both use walnut media in our vibratory tumblers, but I prefer Flitz. We got together after a week or so to divide up the brass we'd cleaned. When he saw the brass I had, the first thing he said was, "Wow, yours looks like jewelry. " "It worked," she said. I win. I've grown into a more mature individual.
I used an ounce in my crushed walnut media to clean and polish my brass, and it nearly cut the time in half. BEFORE adding the brass, make sure you've added your media and given it time to mix in. If you don't, you'll end up with a clumping mess inside some of your cartridges. (Experience can teach you a lot!.
I've been tumbling brass for decades, and the media eventually breaks down. After about 4 hours in the tumbler, the brass is clean but not gleaming. The brass was not only clean but also shiny after using this product for an hour or two. new brass, for example Dull brass isn't the end of the world, and it's unlikely to have any effect, but it does look nice. It doesn't take much, but it saves time, and when you dump the tumbler and look at how nice the brass is? LOL. It's impossible to say no.
A Federal Arsenal vibrator with walnut media is what I use. I was able to run a batch for about three hours and it appeared to be fine. It looks like the first line after adding the additive, and it only took about an hour. My only warning is to avoid making the same mistakes I made. I just poured a couple of circles on top of the media, tossed in the brass, and turned the Federal on because this is a liquid. When I finished, I discovered that some of the brass had been packed with a paste of media and additive. Next time, I'll add the Flitz and run the Federal for ten or fifteen minutes before adding the Flitz; the gunk came right out, so no sweat.
Brass, stainless steel, and titanium all respond well. It produces a nice, polished sheen without leaving a heavy residue when used with walnut media.
All of my brass, including the corn media and this polish, appears to be brand new! I've tumbled around 400 308 and 6 rounds. They're number five, and they're like new!.
Brass is cleaned of all tarnish and residue. Tumble time is reduced, and the finished product is of high quality.
After all, clean brass slides are easier to clean, have fewer jams, and are therefore easier to extract.
