Hello,
I was playing with different methods of shining brass.
Wet tumbling, I used 2 cups water and added one tablespoon lime juice.
This is the result:
I hope this helps someone!

I've had good luck with lemi-shine, if you're looking for shiny brass.

Recipe:
1 qt. Water
1 cup Vinegar
1 Tbsp. Salt
1 Tbsp. Dish Soap (Dawn)
I saw this used on a Youtube video and it seemed to work just great. Has anybody had any experience with this recipe?

I believe the salt is unnecessary, you're using the acid in the Vinegar to chemically clean the brass, very similar to lemi-shine.
It will shine the brass, but I'm not sure without some kind of mechanical rubbing if it will remove carbon deposits.

The video did say it would require some agitation, which speaks to your point. Thanks.

Thanks, Josh. So SS MEDIA is not needed?
