No clue...but none of my brass is tarnished. Soooo...Does Scratch X protect against tarnish?
Still wondering?

I bought the last bottle I picked up for a little over eleven bucks at either an Auto Zone or NAPA. Can't remember which... The comparative at WalMart is in a yellow bottle called Scratch Out and it's about eight bucks and change (last I looked...it's been awhile. That stuff lasts forever).
Okay, some of you are talking about Fitz and others are talking about Flitz. Which is it? Both? I do not make enough money to use Flitz in my tumbler. IMO it is a rather pricey polish that I use sparingly on stainless steel firearms and when I am polishing mating surfaces during trigger jobs, etc. My last tube lasted me about 15 years. I have hardly put a crease in my current tube which I have owned for going on three years.
For the tumbler I use NU-Finish. Cheap, readily available and does the job. After all, I'm just going to take them to the range and shoot them again. None of my reloads have made it to a display case...yet.
How much do you use and how often?
One capful with each new load? WOW, IMO you're using way to much, a capful should last for at least 4/5 or even more tumble loads.
Really? I use so little of the liquid Flitz, that I really can't consider it a major expense. This really isn't brain surgery, though. Anything that works will do the job.Thanks for the clarification!
I am finishing a bottle of this right now. That was what I originally bought when I started reloading. Nu Finish is $5.00 less so that is why I switched.
It may be a little different formula than the regular liquid Flitz, but the regular liquid Flitz contains no ammonia and can be used on just about any metal and even blued steel guns. I use walnut media. I used to use corn cob, but walnut cleans a little quicker for me. The corn cob puts a higher polish on the brass, though. I change out my walnut media when it doesn't clean well any longer.
Absolutely. That's what I do.Ok, just a thought. Can you mix half corn cobs with half walnuts to get the best of both worlds?
After I put in my brass I fill the drum to about 1/2 to 3/4 full. I use a Lortone rotary tumbler. When it starts turning, the media gets inside the cases, so the level is somewhat lower. The fewer cases I put in, the quicker they get clean.Ok, just a thought. Can you mix half corn cobs with half walnuts to get the best of both worlds? Speed and shine? Also how much media does everyone put in their tumbler?
Dry media + polish.r u guys wet or dry tumbleing when using car polish
