Thanks for the info Wayne..I've been using a concoction of Dawn with an addition of "real lemon" concentrate which has always internally cleaned my 110 cases exceptionally well except for that exterior shine we all like to see.

I use Dawn and Lemishine. Although I have not tested and observed enough to give a precise formula (I'm lazy), my impression is that less works better. Too much Lemishine seems to dull the exterior, as does leaving it running too long, maybe due to acidity? A large pinch, a short 1/4 teaspoon, seems about right. Also need to rinse thoroughly. When I get it right the brass shines like new.

Went in a bit different direction. Tablespoon of Dawn, 2 tablespoons of ammonia free Windex and a teaspoon on vitamin C crystal in 1 quart of water. 3 tablespoons of that in the tumbler and off to the races.
