You can wash them in the vinegar if you feel like it or just shoot them. Some folks actually like that "patina" look. I tried the vinegar thing once, along with trying some lemon juice and water. I tried soap too, just to see what worked getting the black carbon soot off some of my cases. The various liquids all got the black off and they seemed to look real nice at first, but after they were all dry, the brass looked kind of tarnished with a slight green tint to it. No big deal either way. Much later I broke down and bought a tumbler and it's kind of nice having shiny cases again, but they still shoot the same either way.
