In the beginning I was the only one using acid when cleaning cases. I used vinegar and nothing once for the life of the case. I set the time for 15 minutes.
Back in those days it was a reflection on the family, today? No one remembers.
There was a process that required a trip to the drug store, when cleaning cases then cases were cleaned for a maximum of 2 minutes, after soaking in the acid the cases were moved to boiling water for the first rinse, then the cases were rinsed again in boiling water.
POINT: After the second rinse the cases cam out looking exactly yours cases. It was called pickling. the process was a military thing used when putting cases up for long time storage.
I use acid/vinegar for the worst of cases to cut down on tumbling.
