Update
So after a bit of "research" courtesy of Uncle Google seems that this is a pretty common method of cleaning brass
No need to deactivate the acid wash, rinsing is recommended however. The level of acidity is catually fairly low compared to battery acid for example.
I have read some posts that using the acetic acid can actually assist in keeping the brass looking good as it actually "Passifies" the brass. I think this means very small layer of the brass is actually resistant to oxidation.
Anyway I will give it a crack and report any problems.
Cheers
