Frankford ArsenalBottle of Ammonia-Free Quick-N-EZ Brass Polish for Tumbler and Reloading

Wonderful product, does a great job of polishing your brass.

Decided to try this on some range brass I picked up. Wow! The results are amazing.

Awesome for cleaning brass. It leaves a brilliant shine.

It will get the brass shiny, even more so than new brass.Context: I use a concrete mixer with 15 pounds of corn cob media. All of my brass is washed in detergent and tumbled with stainless steel media the first time. After reloading and firing again I collect it immediately and tumble in the corn cob media. For this test I tumbled 100 rounds; I usually tumble 500 rounds at a time after detergent wash.However, I am not completely satisfied. I test everything before committing and the first bottle I shook and then dropped 3 drops on a clean round and polished by hand; no issues there as it polished nicely by hand (think military brass buckles) in less than a minute so I think the basic formula is good. I then shook it again 30 times (I grasp it in both hands and try to imitate a paint shaker) and slowly added it to the media while the mixer was running. It squirted out looking sort of thin. I cut open the bottle and and discovered there was about 1/4 inch of the polish solidified on the bottom and about 1/8 of an inch on the side. I scraped this off and added it to the media (still running the mixer) and occasionally would break up the clumps. I guess when they say shake it, they mean _REALLY_ shake it. Eventually it mixed and I added the 100 rounds of clean brass; it polished the brass, but 4 hours is unacceptable.I shook and opened a second bottle and added it to the media. Interestingly, when I cut this second bottle open, it had mixed thoroughly and there was no need for scraping the bottle. This mix (2 bottles of 8 oz. / 96 teaspoons to 15 pounds corn cob media) polishes 100 rounds of clean brass in about 1-3/4 hours. Still too much time and wear and tear on my equipment. I am adding a 3rd bottle.Conclusion: If you mix it 3 teaspoons to a pound of (corn cob) media it will take at least 4 hours in the tumbler. Nothing lasts forever and tumblers are no exception, not to mention electricity which becomes a factor when running things half of an 8 hour day. That said, if I mix it 6 teaspoons to the pound it will shine in about 1 hour 45 minutes. After a 3rd bottle (nine teaspoons per pound of media) I am satisfied with the performance, but not the cost; at $14 for 8 oz. and having to add 3 times the advertised amount to polish in a reasonable amount of time.I am not willing to give it 3 stars because that's the equivalent of getting a D minus on an exam and it is better than that.Recommended if you polish only small amounts of brass.

I have cleaned over 15,000 pistol casings using Frankfort brass polish. I am pleased with the results. Do not add casings & polish to tumbler at same time. Add polish (few drops) let tumbler run for about 5 minutes. If you add polish & casings at same time the polish will clump up into balls inside your casings. I have a 500 pistol case tumbler & add a small squirt of polish every other cycle or so to my walnut media.I still have 1/3-1/4 bottle left after 15k cases.Pro tip: add two dryer sheets to your tumbler to reduce dust sticking to your casings if using walnut or corn cob media.

I use lizard bedding from the pet store in my vibratory tumbler. It is fine walnut hull and works great and is cheaper than other sources. Adding Frankford Arsenal brass polish to the media really puts a nice shine on my brass. I had a bottle years ago that worked great and this one seems similar. It has a very pleasant citrus scent as well. I plan to buy the 32oz bottle when this one is empty.

I've used about every media additive there is and this stuff works great! About 2 hours in the tumbler and it's a mirror finish

I'm loyal to this brand. Everything I've every used from them has worked as expected. This polish does a good job and leave the brass shiny. Not the cheapest, but for the quality and results it's not expensive.
