Maybe not a carb, or things with tiny pieces, but some mid sized parts, I bet would clean up nicely with this thing.

The media last forever. You will lose small amounts of it down the drain when you rinse the brass so it will need to be replenished from time to time, but it never wears out.<br /><br />By the way, if there is any odd sized media that gets stuck in the mouth of your brass, pull that piece out and throw it away.<br /><br />Sir KnightEnola Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719123975236426938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-39072605460378772402017-03-14T16:12:14.300-07:002017-03-14T16:12:14.300-07:00Jonathan - As you can tell by the one photo, I'...Jonathan - As you can tell by the one photo, I'm using ArmorAll Wash and Wax instead of Dawn dishwashing liquid. I read about this on a forum and my hope is that the small amount of wax in the soap will prevent the brass from tarnishing while in storage. This is not a new concept. The "magic" polishing compounds used in dry media case cleaning is Turtle Wax. <br /><br />Steve - You're right about oil damaging powder and primers. The beauty of this system is that you size, decap (remove the primer), before you polish the brass, so the oils will not be a concern. If you process your brass before tumbling it the stainless steel media will clean the primer pockets, take all of the fouling from inside the cases and actually remove the marks on the brass made from sizing. <br /><br />I hope this answer your questions.<br /><br />Sir KnightEnola Gayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719123975236426938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-21155312369826900272017-03-14T15:11:10.162-07:002017-03-14T15:11:10.162-07:00I know that oil will kill powder.
