So it is said that corn cob media polishes better, but walnut cleans better in a vibratory tumbler.
Has anyone tried or is there any benefit mixing the two mediums?

Yea, if shine is what you want, use polish, and it does help with dust, even then sometimes I'll add a few drops of water to invigorate the polish/cob if it gets too dry in the heat here.a bit of Nu-Finish to my Walnut works better than mixing. Helps with the dust too.
I'm currently doing 1 hour in the Wet Tumbler (no pins- lemishine and armor all car wash solution), dry, throw in vibratory tumbler for 1 hour (lizard litter with nu-finish)I've found that I really hate dealing with the pins. I'm going to try wet tumbling without pins or ultrasonic bath for an hour to get most of the grime off and then dry tumble after drying to make 'em pretty.

Have done CC, walnut, and 50/50 mix, all with NuFinish polish. I bought a 50lb bag of walnut from zoro.com so that's what I like!
Honestly, they all work pretty well if you leave them tumbling long enough. Walnut shells are a little faster.
20-40 screen i believe.Which of the three listed sizes do you buy. I've been using lizard litter from petsmart. Is one of those the same or better than that?
Tried walnut, tried corn cob, tried a mixture, use nothing but corncob. I just tumble longer if it needs it.
Thanks for the responses. That pretty much answers my question. I've been wet tumbling with pins for the last while, but ran across a new in box Berry's tumbler with separator for $60 and picked it up.
