a good vibrator tumbler with corn cob media and polishing agent added. go to a local hardware etc, and buy the pieces to put a timer together. set it for the desired tumble time and forget it.
study the manuals extensively.

I run two tumblers, one with walnut hulls for dirtier cases and one with corn cob for a high polish finish.

I use a cob/hull mixture along with a dose of Frankford Arsenal's brass cleaner.

The best I've ever found is called (lyman tuff nut), It's crushed and treated walnut shells. I lube and size my brass and put them right in the tumbler. In about 3 hours they look brand new.

Just ask some questions about load data. Thre is enough guys here who can tell you what a # of different load manuals say to get you going quickly if needed.

I used crushed walnut that I buy from walmart or Petsmart, they call it Lizard Litter. I add a capful of Nufinish auto polish. I cut up half a dryer sheet into 1" squares and drop it in to the mix, it keeps the dust down and helps to keep the walnut clean.
My cases come out very bright and clean after a few hours in a vibrating tumbler.
