Wet tumble spots on brass

Pretty much just reloaded 223/556 prior to this but got a 6.5 creed and loaded and shot through 100 rounds. Deprimed and tossed the brass in the wet tumbler and started noticing spots on the brass that I haven't seen before cleaning LC brass for 223/556. Not sure if it's hard water or too much dish detergent or lemishine. Anyone out there have any insight or what I might try to clear the spots up? Appreciate the help

I had this problem. A poster suggested one or two drops of dish dri. Like the liquid you put in the dishwasher to help dishes dry spotless.

Boom. Spots gone.
 
I haven't seen this. A dash of lemishine and pump of dawn is what I use with ss pins. However they are pretty magnetic so I'd assume they are 304ss.
 
It’s just tarnish. Same as water spots on silverware.

If you don’t want it there (it’s only cosmetic) you will either need to rinse/flush them off very well before drying or toss them in dry media/vibratory tumbler. Preferably after sizing. Then it polishes the tarnish off as well as the lube.
