It's used in food preservation(canning) , many stores have it in salt form, cheap. I treat my brass with it after cleaning, then rinse in water in a bucket with baking soda to neutralize the acid, then optional - water with a cap full of car wash with wax, dry. The wax isn't really needed but it works for my application. I have stuff on the shelf that was processed 8 years ago and still looks dazzling, like they were just polished.What is a source of citric acid and what concentration would it be? Got an upcoming brass project that this would be great for.
