Brasso or Nu-Car Finish

[cbabes]

Which do most of you use in your tumbler media? Brasso or Nu-Car Finish? Reasons? Thanks!

I use NuFinish. I found it actually works a bit better than Brasso and is a lot cheaper.

Meguiars Deep Crystal polish is what I use. The brass looks good and feels slippery(die friendly). I've heard thats whats in the dillon brass polish bottle, don't know if its true or not but it works. I also use a 4 to 1 ratio of corncob and walnut shell. My tumble hold 6 lbs of media.

NuFinish. Haven't used Brasso as I'm quite happy with the NuFinish.

I have used brasso, but eventually found the media would bung up and not do a proper job of polishing. Now I use nothing and brass is nice and clean, and media lasts longer. Tuff nut (red) is what I'm using.

Go to a shop that sells sandblasting supplies and buy a 50lb bag of ground walnut shell. ( I paid $35 ). Works great and 50 lbs will last many many years. BTW I do not add anything to it and it works fine with regular polishing. For really dirty brass add Nu finish

NuFinish. I occaisionally throw in some Methyl Hydrate to cut it.

I use brasso, the results are great. Have to tumble the media for quite a while to dry it out though, otherwise it does get bunged up pretty good.

NuFinish and corncob > because it works and its cheap.. Through in a used dryer sheet to collect the dust and your golden!

I didn't know you were a chemist as well!

No doubt. He basically taught me how to use my reloaders.

I use Flitz. Never heard of NuFinish....

Rapid exothermic reactions are a specialty of mine

Get the Corn Cob at Pet Smart, it is relatively cheap but it is worthwhile watching the flyers for when it is on sale.

If I said it once, I said it a thousand times....
NUFINISH!

Brasso has ammonia and is more expensive.
Feel free to correct me though.

You guys have got my interest peaked. Although I have no concerns about brasso affecting the brass, I might try this Nufinish I keep hearing about. Perhaps next time I changed out my media.

How do you mix the flitz in? The flitz that I have is really thick almost a paste. Do you cut it with something?

Thank you for your info.
