I know people that put Brasso in their tumbling media.....a BAD thing to do. Brasso also weakens the brass because it has ammonia in it, and ammonia attacks the molecular structure of the brass.

I use extra fine scotch brite to break through the patena, then tumble to finish. Never had a problem using this method. Cases end up nice and clean.
After reading the post below, I would add to use the gray extra fine Scotch Brite (buffing pad), not the maroon ones. It's much finer and works just as good but with less scratching.
JMHO
