    A towel, the oven, or throw them in the polisher works for me.

    This works at my place. My well water comes from the Texas Trinity Aquifer and is really hard and nasty. Not pleasantly potable even after being softened. I use the Thumler Model B high speed in two stages. Stage one uses cold tap water, Dawn and LemiShine. Stage two uses tap water, LemiShine and Armorall Wash & Wax.

    A thorough rinse in the same tap water, roll in a heavy towel, then the brass goes into my oven at 170F for 20 minutes. The brilliant shine used to fade after a few days with the slow appearance of blotches of darker color. The Armorall stopped all that.

    Towel dry first. Then in the food dehydrator. Easy peasy.

    On a towel in the sun in the warmer months. Towel is on an expanded metal rack so it airs out also. In winter, when I dump the brass and media out of my concrete mixer, I throw the brass back in with several old towels and t-shirts.
    To much work, not enough time for guns.

    I am going to try the armor all wash and wax. I wonder if that little wax would actually lube the cases? Sure would be nice when reloading pistol rounds on my dillon 650. Rifle stuff i size then wash.

    Bardo, I find the wax to be undetectable, except for the lasting shine. It appears to survive the trip through the carbide sizer on the Dillon 550B.
