You do rinse all of the abrasive off the cases before loading and firing, correct?
No, you don't use that much abrasive.
Am I hearing this right? You don't clean the abrasive off the brass after tumbling?!?! How's your barrel life?
Been adding nu-finish or chrome polish for 15 yrs or so and never had an issue with barrel/chamber wear.

If I want the outside of the cases polished I use Toilet Paper. When the inside of the case and the primer pockets need cleaning I use SS pins and hand soap.
Toilet Paper ????? Please explain...
How do tell, do you wet tumble with pins and clean just the inside of the cases ????
No wet tumbling here, fill up drum with 100 pieces of brass, add water and soap, tumble , then wait hummmmmmmmmmmm. Then rinse off and then dry..
I tumble , sift, check primer pockets and load..
The abrasive that is in car polish or specifically made case polish is softer than the steel in a barrel. It is also WAY softer than the carbide ring in a sizing die. It is not anything like carborundum or diamond grit. It will not hurt your barrel. Think of it like the plastic pads used for cleaning a teflon pan, it is harder than the crusty food, but still softer than the teflon.
