I do reloading too, and have thrown chrome window crank handles, chrome ashtrays and just about anything that will fit into the tumbler and left them overnight....even longer..... I use walnut shells and have been very pleased with the outcome of this form of chrome cleaning and shining...I experimented with cleaning Packard glass lenses and doesn't hurt the glass and cleans the glass and water deposits right off. Ditto with a complete outside rearview mirror. However, some testing should be done on your own to figure what's suitable and not. (disclaimer). Hope this helps.


Edit: I do nuts and bolts too, however, be sure all the tumbling media gets removed from every slot, screw hole and blind orifice. Lord help you if you decide to clean carburetor parts in there. Hope this helps too.
