Ultra Sonic Cleaner Solution

I can not get excited about another way to clean cases, I use ground up corn media, I have walnut JIC (just in case), not a habit but for the very worst of cases I use vinegar and nothing, just straight white 4% vinegar, I clean the worst of cases with 4% vinegar for a maximum of 15 minutes for the life of the case, the acid has an adverse effect on the zinc, left in the vinegar too long brass cases will turn orange/pink, the reason for cleaning the worst of cases in vinegar is to reduce tumbling.
In the old days, 50s and before a reduced solution of H2SO3 was used, less than 2% for a maximum of 2 minutes followed by rinsing in boiling water for no less than two times. The process pickled the cases, meaning the cases turned black, at that time the cases were stored in sealed containers. H2SO3 is not something anyone wants around for cleaning use, so I use vinegar, I can drink it, put it on a salad, etc., until I use it to clean cases then, it turns green.
â€Will the LemiShine affect the cases in a Negative way? And what is the purpose of the LemiShine?
T.I.A.â€
They say? White vinegar, I say for a maximum of 15 minutes for the life of the case with a 4% solution, they say? LimeShine? I ask, does lime shine have acid in it, now we go back to the part where I said my cases turn pink/orange , just setting, I could speed the process up by agitation, so, the question is: What does all this mean? If stainless what ever is used to scrap the cases while being cleaned, the orange/pink is removed. if it is Ultra sonic, the high frequency waves/vibration removes the pink/orange.
Again, I use corn media and nothing (except for the worst of cases), soaking in vinegar then rinsing can reduce tumbling for the worst of cases by 2+ days.
Use the ultra sonic and water, no vinegar, no lime shine, does the ultra sonic clean the cases? is an acid required? Is the tumbling media stainless required because of the acid?
I use corn media and nothing.
