The stuff I am using at the moment are Win, Rem, and Magtech for the .410 but I do add some cull cae=ses to increase the tumbler load when I only want to clean a couple dozen cases. I have read that you don;t use much lemishine so I have been trying about a 9MM case size measure. I have also read that some guys do all their cleaning without lemishine, then run a fresh tumble WITH the lemishine only for 10-15 minutes to get a better shine. Haven't h]tried that yet.

That's the same measure I use -- a not quite full 9mm case of Lemishine. I also make sure the water in the ultrasonic cleaner is hot and the lemishine is dissolved and no longer crystals at the bottom of the cleaner. Once I made those changes, I've had zero red/brown spotting from it. The brass does get truly shiny if it went in pretty clean to start and wasn't full of range dirt and debris (I always pick up brass when I go to the range and then sort it at home into definitely use/maybe use/scrap. The 'definitely use' gets cleaned. The other two collect in the garage.
