Best brass case polish?

Meguiar’s Cleaner Wax. Mostly because that was the liquid car wax I had on the shelf.

I also use a couple tablespoons of mineral spirits on occasion to clean off the Imperial when forming cases.

I wet tumble with pins first and then place the cases in a towel and shake to get excess water off. I then place them in a vibratory tumbler with Lizard Litter and about a teaspoon of Nu-Finish. It dries the brass and puts a thin wax coating on them.

Hot water; dash of Wash and Wax; tsp Lemishine. Hour or so in the tumbler. Wash and Wax will leave a noticeable coating and the brass stays shiny for quite a while.

I use any old car wax on hand

Another fan of NuFinish Car Polish here. I put about 1-1/2 to 2 tablespoons in the media along with a tablespoon or two of mineral spirits and let the tumbler run for 15-20 minutes before adding brass. I replenish the mineral spirits when the odor gets weak and add NuFinish when the brass doesn’t look like I like it.

My concern for shiny, slick brass is that it feeds well in highly tuned competition handguns, especially a 1911 that shoots almost recoil-free loads for steel plate matches.

I ran across this thread and found it very interesting. I had been using plain walnut hulls for a long time and they did ok but the cases were not as shiny as I liked. I picked up a bottle of Meguiras Mirror Glaze 2, Fine cut cleaner. A squeeze of about a half oz or so in my vibrator and a few hours later the cases were nice and shiny. As a kind of up side to adding this is that the dust normally generated in the vibrating bowel was greatly reduced.

On old bottle neck brass, I use Scotchbrite medium in 1 1/2” squares with a keyless chuck cordless drill. You can get nasty brass in pretty good shape with the combination.
