Brass looks new and no "pink" brass. But for those who chose otherwise:Chemical Case Cleaning Solutions#1) Soak cases in a 5% solution of citric acid (available from your drugstore) and warm water for about 10 minutes.  If your water is very hard increase the amount of citric acid (tip: distilled water works best).  You can add some Dawn dishwashing liquid to the solution for extra grease cutting ability (do not use any dishwashing soap that contains ammonia).  Follow with a rinse in hot, soapy water (Ivory liquid works well) and let dry.#2) A solution of one (1) quart white vinegar and two (2) tablespoons of non-iodized salt.  Soak with some agitation for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with hot, soapy water and let dry.#3) A solution of one (1) quart of distilled water, one (1) cup white vinegar, one-half (1/2) cup lemon juice, one-quarter (1/4) cup laundry or dishwashing detergent (see caution above) and one-eighth (1/8) cup non-iodized salt.  Soak with some agitation for 15 to 20 minutes and follow with a rinse in hot, soapy water and allow to dry.  This may leave the brass with a slight pinkish cast which will disappear with a short tumble in media.Cases that have been fired several times and show a carbon build up inside can be soaked in straight Naphtha available from your local hardware or paint store.  Decap and soak for 5 to 10 minutes, drain, allow to air dry and then tumble as usual.  Cases will come out clean inside and out.</blockquote>
