need to add any water or polishes as this media is already treated with a polish.
Dry Shine Media
III (#13450) should be tumbled with the parts for at least 6
®
hours. Tumbling for longer periods will yield a higher shine. Remember to use a
ratio of 70% Media to 30% Parts. This dry media will not remove an appreciable
amount of material, however it will remove dirt, and stain residues. Typical
running time for this media is 6 to 24 hours, but can easily run to several days.
Protect the shine with Eastwood Diamond Clear for Bare Metal (#10200Z
Aerosol; #10357ZP Quart; #29894Z Extreme Diamond Clear, 8 oz.) or the
Eastwood Tin-Zinc Electroplating System (#10049Z). For the longest lasting

The following maintenance should be performed every 100 hours of use:
1. Check tightness of all hardware.
2. Inspect interior of bowl to ascertain any premature wear.
To optimize media use:
1. Allow wet media to thoroughly dry before returning to unused
media container.
2. Continue to use media until it no longer cuts in a reasonable amount
of time.

abrasive/polishing treatments permeate the entire cross section.
