Got any hints for cleaning up ammo with corrosion?

I use Brasso on just about all my CMP ammo. Lots of work but they come out nice and shinny, like my old belt buckle used to.

Be careful with Brasso. It has ammonia in it. Attacks the zinc in brass and weakens it.

I dump corroded cartridges in white vinegar and water. Let soak for ten minutes or so, then dry and wipe with a coarse cloth to get the pink stain off. Milsurp is waterproof, or should be. If it leaks, it's toast anyway.

Those white spots in the corrosion may be a sign of severe pitting. Inspect the pits once cleaned and pitch the bad ones.
