FOUL!!!!!!!!!Everybody has a formula, some tend to overcomplicate things. You can get pitch off your hands by buying sap remover or hand sanitizer.
Or, you can use butter.
For wet tumbled brass;
Dish soap really is all you need and a good water flush till it runs clean (I use convection oven to dry)
Lemishine has it's use, if you have hard water, Lemishine or similar will help prevent hard water spots, but not so much in the tumble. I found best used after the rinse water runs clean then add and swirl in the last fill of clean water just before dumping.
If you do not have, or have not experienced hard water, you won't know how crappy it can get; To you, your clothes, your pipes and valves, your brass. Thankfully, I no longer live in a hard water area.
As an aside, I finish the dried brass with a rouge and walnut polish which usually will remove any hard water or residual stains, albeit most will cry foul for being to anal.
See!!!FOUL!!!!!!!!!
I also like to do a dry polish after the wet cleaning it makes the brass super slick for the sizing die. It also feeds and ejects wonderfully in a finicky autoloader. Keeps the tarnish away also.Everybody has a formula, some tend to overcomplicate things. You can get pitch off your hands by buying sap remover or hand sanitizer.

But car wash leaves a thin wax layer and makes shine for a looooong time, it to mention pistol cases get a little free lube for the loading process.Ya, car wash stuff is expensive. Dish soap works perfectly. I used the lemishine for awhile, but after trying without it and just some good ole dish soap, I noticed no difference. I also tried Jet Dry to see if that helped, nope.
