Barrel finishing for brass buttons without losing detail

We need to deburr and polish brass buttons with fine engraved detail, but barrel finishing is rounding the edges and softening the pattern.

What media, compound and cycle time do you use?

• Ceramic vs. plastic media
• Wet vs. dry process
• Part-to-media ratio
• Inspection method for detail loss

We are willing to trade some cycle time for better detail retention.
