Thread: Sonic cleaners

I use warm water, 1/2 tsp citric acid and a couple of drops of detergent. Rinse off in hot tap water a couple of times. Comes out clean and shiny, but dulls over time like clean brass does. A bit of sizing lube would likely keep it shiny.

That's what I use, my cleaner only has a 7-min cycle so I run it 3-4 times until the primer pockets a clean, then warm water (hot tap water) rinse. Then roll between 2 old tea towels and then blow out with compressed air and then ready to load

Same as I use but I add a drop or two of car washnwax stops the dulling
