Why would you use media 1 when it blocks the flash holes (and creates more work to clear them)?

Why would you use 2 different media, so you have to separate twice (again more unnecessary work)?

Why choose jeweller's rouge - the messy dusty option?

And if you don't really care about the finish, why tumble for 6 hours (plus the 2 media separations & blocked flash hole clearing)?

..
So how do you clean your brass what do you suggest.
