Cleaning Brass Gun Cartridges

Q. I am concerned about the acidic reaction the vinegar may have with brass gun cartridges. Do you have a product that will clean brass ultrasonically and not have the issues of using vinegar and if so could you send some samples?

A.  Whether it is brass cartridges and casings, or general cleaning of brass, Citranox® Liquid Acid Cleaner and Detergent can reliably and safely remove fingerprints, oxidation and other contaminants.

Use a warm 2% solution of Citranox (2.5 oz/gal or 20 mL/L) to clean brass in an ultrasonic tank. Rinse thoroughly with water. You can read about others that have tried and tested the Citranox detergent to safely remove residue and clean their brass gun cartridges.
