Ruben in one word DON'T. Brasso contains ammonia and the ammonia attacks the molecular structure of the brass. Believe it or not I USED to do exactly what your friends are doing before I knew better. I was lucky and had no problems but it is inviting disaster. Besides that it is so much easier to get a tumbler I have a Lyman, just dump in about 150 30-06 filthy cases with some of that $2.95 for 20# bag corncob from Wal-Mart and a squirt of Armorall Car wax (that one has no ammonia) and go do what ever you want to do, come back in 2 or 3 hours and the brass looks like it is brand new.
