Frankford Arsenal Ultrasonic Brass Cleaning Solution for Rotary Tumbler, Cleaning and Reloading 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

After many months of experimentation with cleaning brass cases I have settled on this procedure: I load my Frankford Arsenal Rotary Tumbler with several hundred resized, decapped brass cases, 5lbs of stainless steel pins, HOT water and a full shot glass (2oz) of Frankford Arsenal Ultrasonic Brass Cleaning Solution and tumble for about 150 minutes. (I've tried it without the stainless pins and it didn't get rid of all the crud in the primer pockets.) After removing the drum from the machine, I replace one see-through end cap with a sifter cap and empty the dirty solution into an empty bucket to catch many of the stainless steel pins. While the drum is setting in that bucket I put another sifter cap on the other end. After a few more shakes I move the drum over to a 5 gallon bucket filled with fresh, clean water. Completely dunking the drum pushes the remaining cleaning suds out the top. I gyrate the drum a bit and then carefully turn it over (so as not to scatter any remaining stainless steel pins) and dunk it in the fresh water again. After a few more gyrations in the bucket to catch more pins, I remove one sifter cap and place the brass, 5 or 6 handfuls at a time, into my Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series Wet/Dry Rotary Media Separator (the one with the lid) It separates out and catches all of the remaining stainless steel pins so that I don't find them on the drying towel and cookie sheet in the oven and on the floor and... basically everywhere. My cases look shiny and new when they come out of the dehydrator or the oven.

Amazing! As a test I tumbled a couple hundred 357 Magnum cases for three in my Frankford Arsenal with Dawn and Lemi shine. Cases came out clean but looking dull. Tumbled again for an hour with no pins but with this solution and hot distilled water. When I dumped it, I was amazed how dirty the solution looked. Brass looks like I'd polished each one with Brasso!

I have had since 2018. Works perfect. One of the caps went missing, emailed FA and they sent me a new one no questions asked. Good product and great support from the manufacturer.

I got this and ran a load of .223 through the ultrasonic cleaner and WOW, they came out looking new, even the primer pockets!!! I do a multi level process on my brass and that may be part of the reason for the new looking brass. I separate by head stamp and run the brass through my Frankford vibration tumbler that has mostly walnut shell and some stainless steel pins to remove dirt and grit that may damage my dies. After processing the cases I ran them through the ultrasonic cleaner at 140 degree's for 40 minutes and rinsed. I then put the cases into a sock bag after rinsing and through the cases into the clothes drier during the last 20 minutes of my work clothes drying cycle. They came out looking brand new! This may seem like extra steps but it's not bad when you do 500 cases at a time and save the cases to load as you need, and it beats the cost of buying new cases for loading. I figure the main advantage to reloading is to tailor your rounds to your rifle and that is the big payoff and enjoyment of the operation. I have been very pleased with this product and would recommend it.

Bought the Frankford Arsenal Rotary Tumbler and it included a small pack of cleaning solution. Knowing I would be reloading a lot more cases (many for friends) I needed more solution. I purchased this and it cleans the brass better then any dry tumbling ever has for me. Add a little to the water in the tumbler and after 60-90 minutes it's done.Might be a bit more of a hassle to wet tumble but I do like my shiny brass. However, after some research, I am going to try a combination of Lemi Shine and Armor All Wash & Wax, as that is said to be pretty much the same type of ingredients (for much less $$) and the addition of wax may make sizing somewhat easier.

I've had issues with the Dawn/Lemishine mix leaving a powdery film on the brass. That is not the case with the Franklin Arsenal cleaning liquid. It's obviously more expensive than homemade recipes, but the bass is cleaner without any residue. I recommend it, even at the more cost. FYI, I've also tried the Hornady liquid. The brass comes out with more shine with the Franklin Arsenal.

Works perfectly and is straight forward and easy to use

I don’t know why they are asking about thickness when this is a liquid, but it works great! Bought the tumbler from them as well to experiment with wet tumbling for our business, Zmunitions. It does an amazing job wet tumbling brass, and I am still using it for small batch orders that are too small for our large tumbler which takes 5gal of brass at a time. A capful is all that is needed to do a batch in the Frankford tumbler, and you will love the results of clean honey colored brass.

This is the best product for wet tumbling. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Yes you can make your own formula, but even the best formulas don't come close to this.

Sorry, the jury is still out on this one. Seems very expensive and hasn't made a great improvement to the brass.

Bien

Excellent product and will be ordering more

Great product. I would recommend it to all.
