I use the Dillon brew which appears to be grorified car polish but you still get some dust.
I use Lyman media and it cleans best without any additives. Adding media polish slows down the cleaning a bit IMO but gives nice shiny cases for sure which makes most people happy. I'm not hung up on nice shiny cases. My dull but clean ones shoot just as well as shiny ones.

To be honest I gave away this intense cleaning regime, wet and dry tumbling, untrasonics, a couple of years ago. It just isn't necessary. Except maybe for pistol shooting where you gather up your fired brass off the ground and throw it straight into a tumbler.
