Details man, details! What's the formula, i.e., how much of each ingredient.
BTW, beautiful looking results, hope to duplicate with SS media.

Sparky - the formula is:

Strat-O-Sheen - is a concentrated powder. Comes in a 5 or25 lb box. 3 oz to 1 gal water is the formula
The proper way to fill a tumbler for proper cleaning is: 1/8 to 1/4" media - burnishing solution to cover the brass and the tumbler should be no more than 2/3 full of brass for proper agitation

Scrubbing Bubbles: I have a 34oz bottle. Yesterday I just gave a squirt into the tumbler. Today I got scientific - put in 1 oz of Bubbles and the brass looked like new

Thanks JB, I'm going to give it a go as soon as I get my Strat-O-Sheen from Rio. Going to use it with SS pins and see how the brass turns out, might have to get some Ceramic media as well.
