Use a Lyman 1200 that is about 35 years old and has run long enough that it had polished the inside of the bowl like a mirror years ago.

Use Walnut shell, rarely any additives. Dampen with a little Isopropyl Alcohol to keep dust and static down. Start it at night and turn off in the morning if I remember, otherwise when I get home from work. So, 6-18 hours. If I didn't want it bright I wouldn't polish brass at all, just like we used to do.

Often, just to remove case lube when needed, is Corn cob for a couple of hours. Still use a little alcohol or Trichloroethane to help de-grease.

One question I had from what was posted is what possible reason would anyone have for mixing Walnut and Corn? They have different purposes.
