I bet you can't beat my shine. J tumble agates for the most part and stage 1 can take up to 10-12 weeks for botswanas and such. I use liquid ivory soap in between every single stage, overnight. I swear my rocks come out incredible!! I just really wanted to share this. The liquid gets in to all the nooks and crannies. Game changer!

I do the same thing but use Dawn liquid. It helps to be sure everything is as clean as you can make it. I tumble stages 1 and 2 in a rotary tumbler. For steps 3 and 4 and bunish I use my vibratory tumbler with a separate bowls for each step. Here is some info I found about this cleaning process and the advantages. rocktumbler.com/blog/cleaning-your-rock-tumbler-barrel/
