Shiny brass catches light better making it easier to find your brass when you go to pick it up....just my opinion

What, you don't have a brass magnet?
I'm talking about one of these. I'm getting too old to crawl around on my knees(anymore).

I've seen them work. They're probably better on concrete, which my pistol range has.I have heard varying reviews on that product.

Really? Buff7mm has been using one of those since 2013. It worked so well Mooseman built a kiddie version of it.
You need to attend more Hooligan shoots and stay up-to-date my friend. We're on the cutting edge out here in the mountains.

Just buy a bucket of food grade citric acid(granules). It's a 10th of the cost and is the same thing. One bucket, around $30, is a lifetime supply.
Good question! From Organic and Bio-Chemistry, we know that citric acid is a tri-carboxylic acid (with 6 Carbons) with pka values of 3.13, 4.76 and 6.40. It's used in bacterial systems to buffer pH from about 3-7. Glycolic acid is only a 2-carbon species with a pka of 3.6. In this sense, I would expect glycolic acid to behave more like its 2-carbon cousin, acetic acid... aka vinegar. There's no indication on the packaging what concentration the glycolic acid is, but since it's being used in a household setting, I'd wager it's already pretty dilute.
Since I'm a scientist... let's experiment! I have about 100 or so 40 S&W cases that I've accumulated over the last few years... I don't shoot this caliber, so I'll send them through the wet tumble with stainless steel pins, Dawn, and Oxi-Clean... I'll see what happens...
I might get yelled at for saying this, but i generally just use a squeeze of dish detergent. i have a thing of lemme shine, but i forget to use it from time to time.

I just recently started wet tumbling and I really like it. It is more work, but that’s ok. I bought the FART platinum series get up and bought the mesh tumbler sifting caps and transfer magnet too. I’ve concluded that I need a media separator or to “create” one bc separating the pins from the brass is still a pita.
Anyways, to my question. I finally found some lemi shine on the shelves...granule kind and a smaller bottle of liquid. How much of the granules do you use? I put a teaspoon in with 260 pieces of 9mm brass, 5lbs pins, and enough water to cover everything by an inch or 2. I’m using one packet of Frankfort Arsenal brass cleaning packs.
I use a heaping teaspoon and a big squirt of dawn. That's all you need
