Substitute for corn cob media polish in a bottle

[WT1]

Just opened my bottle of corn cob media polish and it appears to have separated into its component liquids and no amount of shaking it per instructions is getting it to go back to it original state.

Are there any other solutions, pastes, or whatever that I can put into the corn cob media that will have the same effect so I can get going? Being former military of course I have Brasso, I also have Barkeepers friend metal polish, and various furniture polishes and oils from resurfacing some desks I picked up at the local resale shop.

I’ve always just used a little bit of liquid NuFinish car polish with each batch.

It's mostly nickel brass except for two 375 H&H. I put some Barkeeper's Friend in, not much. The instructions on the regular brass polish do say that which each successive time you will need to use less and less with the same media, so hopefully the couple of small squirts of Barkeepers Friend will do the trick. Thanks for your suggestion.

This plus a teaspoon of mineral spirits worked wonders. But I have since moved onto wet tumbling.

I've used a few different automotive liquid waxes over the years. Just takes a spoonful and lasts a long time.

My franklin tumbler cane with a little ol bottle of stuff. And it works great but I just use my tumbler to remove sizing lube. But the Franklin wet tumbling solution works great too. These home brews in my opinion are to much work and honestly cost more for equal results

I don't particularly like wet tumbling so I've been using walnut with nufinish. It's worked very well for me.

Truthfully you dont need anything in your media besides media.
