I'm looking for tank tumbling media in europe and am wondering if anyone has tips on the best place to get good quality inexpensive media? I'm going to be tumbling steel tanks so was thinking to use Aluminum Oxide as it is cheaper than Ceramic.

I have read GMC's tank tumbling and cleaning tips and had some further questions.

What do you guys use for cleaner during tumbling and what do you use as a rust inhibitor. GMC recommends their own products which they charge a pretty penny for. Though I've also gotten tips that you can use Simple Green when tumbling? Is this correct/good enough? And a rust inhibitor?

GMC also tipped on their Tumbling Expeditor, how much of a difference does it make? Worth the extra investment?

I am located in the Azores in Portugal.

Thanks!
