The Lyman Turbo Charger Media Reactivator is a 4-ounce liquid additive that restores the polishing performance of used corncob tumbler media. Reloaders who run high volumes of brass through a vibratory tumbler know that media wears out, loading up with carbon and grime until it stops cutting. Rather than dumping spent media and buying fresh, this Lyman formula brings it back to working condition. It's aimed at anyone processing range brass in quantity who wants consistent shine and faster cleaning cycles without the recurring cost of replacement media. A single bottle treats a sizable batch.
The reactivator is a liquid blend of petroleum distillates and chromium oxide that you add directly to the media in your tumbler bowl. Lyman's directions call for roughly 1 ounce of reactivator per 2 pounds of media, and a 4-ounce bottle restores up to 8 pounds of heavily used corncob. The chromium oxide content is what puts the polishing bite back into the granules, while the petroleum carrier distributes the compound evenly as the tumbler runs. Per the manufacturer data, the formula carries a flash point of 294.8°F and a specific gravity of 0.84, so it stores and handles like a typical shop solvent. It works with corncob media and pairs with walnut media as well, making it flexible across most vibratory setups.
Reach for this when your tumbler runs longer than it used to and cases come out dull. Pour the measured dose into the bowl, let it tumble for a few minutes to distribute, then load your brass and run a normal cycle. It fits into a broader case cleaning workflow alongside a media sifter for separating brass from granules and a case dryer for wet-cleaned brass.

A single 4-ounce bottle restores up to 8 pounds of heavily used corncob media. Lyman's directions call for about 1 ounce of reactivator per 2 pounds of media, so you can split the bottle across several batches depending on how much media you run at a time.
Add the measured dose directly to the media in your tumbler bowl, run it for a few minutes so the compound distributes evenly, then load your brass and run a normal cleaning cycle. The chromium oxide reactivates the polishing action while the carrier spreads it through the granules.
It's formulated for corncob media, which is its primary use, and it also pairs with walnut media. That makes it usable across most vibratory tumbler setups, whether you run corncob for polishing or walnut for heavier cleaning.
Used media loads up with carbon and grime and gradually stops cutting, leaving brass dull. Reactivating restores polishing performance at a fraction of the cost of fresh media, and it cuts cleaning times back to where they were. For high-volume reloaders, it stretches every bag of media much further.
