I started with corncob.... then went to walnut. Walnut will clean more aggressively,and provide a really nice shine..... but corncob with a teaspoon of NuFinish once in a while (Walmart, 7.99 or so) will give a brilliant shine.

Take your pick, but definitely use the NuFinish. Much cheaper than the polish "they" want you to buy.

Just my thoughts and observations....

I use walnut with a cut up dryer sheet and a capful of Nufinish car polish. Put the polish in and let it run while or you'll have cat turds in your brass

Default Where to get walnut media

Get your crushed walnut media from PetSmart. It's used for reptile cage bedding and much less expensive that way.

I picked up a multi-year supply there for about $20...
