When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
Was it a water tumbler? Vinegar acts as de-caking agent and reduces water spots, this is why it is recommended in being added to the water in a pressure canner. Any product pressure cooked without vinegar in the water comes out with a white grit on it.
I use a Thumbler tumbler with stainless rod media and a splash of dawn dish detergent and dish washer crystals for water streaks. My brass comes out better than new.
