Has anyone cleaned a brass item with this unit and does it make it shine?

I have not cleaned brass with this but have done silver. I cleaned a pair of my bf's cufflinks that belonged to his grandfather. I cleaned them in a solution with the jewelery cleaner for two sessions at 380. A lot of stuff does come off but you still have to finish off with a polishing cloth. My suggestion is that if your brass items are very tarnished, putting them into the Ultrasonic cleaner will help give you a head start. Hope this helps.

Yes. This unit works great. The only thing I would say is be careful with silver plated items. Do not leave them in for an extended period as the ultrasound works so well, it can begin to take off the silver plating. I wore out my first unit after many years of use and bought a this unit. It works wonderfully! It takes tarnish off of old silver jewelry in seconds. You can watch the process. It is amazing to watch. Well priced and just as described. I use mine all the time.

I use half vinegar,water and a tablespoon of dish soap. I use mine for cleaning ammo brass. After cleaning I put the brass in water with baking soda ,then rinse with clean water. Works great.

Never used it on Nambe ware. but it is the best brass polish I've ever used. High shine, infrequent polishes!

I have used this to clean/polish rifle and pistol brass. I used rice along with the brass and the results are good. Make sure you clean the flash holes.

Not that I have seen, but I used it in a Swiss made humidifier that I paid a lot for and left it over night. It had a brass part in it that did not seem to be affected.

I use Twinkle brass and copper cleaning kit. It's very easy to use and brings the kettle back to new condition. You can buy it from Amazon, too.

If you want shiny/new brass then tumble them. I always do along with just a bit of polish and the brass comes out looking like new, even on 10 times reloaded brass.

No, SS media will remove tarnish without leaving marks on the brass. If your brass is already scratched or marred or marked, SS media will not remove those marks. Otherwise, damage to the brass would occur during the ordinary SS wet tumbling process.

Do you know what kind of metal it is? This is supposed to work on brass, copper, bronze, and some nickle pieces. Mostly I have used it on silver plated pieces where the base metal (brass) is showing through. It seems VERY hit or miss, in some places it improves the look impressively in others it will not seem to take.

I clean my EAA Witness Elite in mine. Pick up some of the gun cleaner solution though, I used just water and dawn, it did a great job but the metal started to rust before I could get it all dried off and sprayed down with tri flow. Its the same cleaner that Hornaday sells just a lot less. I clean all kinds of things in it, from cpu heat sinks to handguns

No, I have used it where it has got on fresh painted metal and it never done anything to the paint. It sure polishes the brass though.

Yes. The best metal cleaner and polisher I've ever used, for silver, brass, bronze, gold -THE BEST!

I'm happy to answer questions about this product when I can - maybe Amazon can credit me some sort of "kudos" for my efforts. About your question: carefully clean the metal resonator per the manual.

Depends, this polisher uses pads and abrasives to polish by removing the surface material, oxidation and metal. I have used it to polish old brass and copper bathroom fixtures which I then coated with clear urethane to preserve the shine. If you are looking to get rid of build up without removing material from the surface this is not the answer. There are liquid products design to do that. Even a floor wax remover would work.

I use an SOS pad to clean mine. It does not damage the finish. I have cleans it several times.
