Ron,

    Thanks for the input and suggestions. I don't think it's feasible
    for us to set up a large mass finishing area just for that purpose
    however I will be happy to share your feedback with the appropriate
    product manager. 

    Below is a recommendation for breaking in porcelain media keeping in
    mind many people have other methods that probably work as well too.
    And yes, porcelain media only gets better the more it is used. 

    10 days (24 hrs) running changing the solution out every 2 days. Use
    two cups of water with Strat-0-Sheen compound and some scrap metal
    in the AV-25. The AV-25 has a 7 quart volume and in my experience is
    the most common size used. 

Hope this helps.
