Add a bit of car polish and let it go. Since the brass is clean there’s no real issue with dirty dust.
This is my method also. Wet tumbling alone gets the cases so squeaky clean that you have to add something to lubricate them before resizing anyways, so after wet tumbling and drying them I run them in my vibrator Lyman with clean dry media to get them lubed up. I am using the Lyman green corn cob media instead of untreated because I had it left over from before getting my FA wet tumbler.
