CSEMARTIN Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I have been using Nu Finish "The Once a Year Car Polish" to tumble my brass after reading a post on this forum. It has worked great, but I ran out. I decided to see what I had laying around in the garage and found a bottle of Meguiar's Deep Crystal Deep Gloss Polish. It comes in a 16 ounce bottle for about five bucks at Auto Zone. The results were pretty incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypool40 Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I've been using their polish / wax for several years. Someone told me that Dillon case polish is car wax repackaged. Don't know if it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kline Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I'll have to try some of that Meguirs stuff. I currently use white rice. Its done a good job and its cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its done a good job and its cheap. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> White rice, cool. Someone told me to get pet bedding (crushed walnut hulls) from PetSmart, etc., and it has worked very well for the price. Just curious, do you add anything to the rice? How often do you change it? Thanks, John Edited October 17, 2005 by iainmcphersn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Just for clarity. The rice or walnut is the media. The polish is an additive to the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPatterson Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I guess I am really old school (not infringing on the name) because I tumble first with walnut shells (Petsmart) to get off the magic marker I use to identify my brass then switch to corn cob (Petsmart) with the Nu Finish. Nu Finish is cheaper at Wallyworld than Meguiar's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 So does it work better than the Nu Finish?

down0 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I'll have to try some of that Meguirs stuff. I currently use white rice. Its done a good job and its cheap. I'm intrigued. Plain ole white rice that you buy in 50 lb bags at costco? Then you add some liquid car wax? How long does it last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
