Flitz Tumbler Media Additive and Metal Polish – 7.6 oz. FLTA04885

The Flitz Tumbler Media Additive (TA04885) is a high-performance liquid concentrate engineered to supercharge the effectiveness of organic tumbling media, such as corn cob or walnut shells. Formulated to be 100% ammonia-free, this additive significantly reduces tumbling cycles—often cutting processing time in half—while simultaneously cleaning, polishing, and preserving metal surfaces. It is a critical component for reloaders and blade restorers who require a professional-grade finish without the risk of metal embrittlement.

This unscented liquid additive works by enhancing the abrasive action of the media, allowing it to lift powder residue, lead buildup, and oxidation more efficiently. Unlike many traditional polishing agents, the Flitz formula is eco-safe and non-toxic, ensuring it will not deaden primers or cause gummy buildup within the media. In addition to cleaning, it leaves behind a durable, hydrophobic micro-coating that protects brass and steel from tarnish and oxidation for up to six months.

For reloading, the additive ensures brass casings remain structurally sound and brilliantly polished. For cutlery, it is an excellent solution for restoring carbon steel blades, brass liners, and nickel silver bolsters. The formula is safe for use on all metals, including stainless steel and nickel-plated firearms. Users should note that because it is a polishing agent, it will remove the natural patina from vintage collectibles and should be used with care on factory-blued surfaces.
