Cleaning brass

Have had stuff in storage for some time. I have a 300 H&H that I had built about 10 years ago, and hoarded all the brass for it I could get. Have about 300 rounds in sealed Winchester bags, but had about 300 loose in a shoebox. And there it sat. The loose rounds now have a bit of corrosion on them. Shame on me. Nothing major or green. A guy recommended that I go over them with Flitz. I have, and the results are very good. How much brass do you think this stuff is peeling off? I have to save as many as possible, as the 300 H&H is hard to find brass for, other than the very expensive Norma or Nosler stuff. Is Flitz OK to use as polish? Or am I weakening the case by removing too much?
 
If you try real hard you might be able to remove a ten thousanth of an inch. Since normal tolerances are several thousandths, you do not need to worry about it.
