Anyone use a Dillon case cleaner?

There is a sticker on the unit that says not to use any liquid in the cleaner. Now I bought some liquid Dillon polish when I bought the cleaner, so this would seem a little contradictory. I bought the display from a local store (brand new) and they didn't have the box or owners manual so i just want to get some feedback from others who use this cleaner. It's a standard dillon CV-500. if you do use polish please share how much you add to the media and when if it's not when you start the cycle. Thanks.

I have the same case cleaner and read the same thing you did. I interpretted it as to not fill the unit with significant liquid.
The Dillon polish is to use in the Dillon (and other) cleaners. They recommend, and I use, one capful when I put in fresh media. It seems to last until the media is nearly ready to replace (for my use 10 to 20 batches of dirty brass).

Disclaimer: I'm fairly new to this and others may have better info.

I have one and as Don said the warning is againt using only liquid polish, or a percentage of liquid that would could create a slurry. The liquid content could eventually seep through the bolt holes in the bottom.

Thank you gentleman. I was pretty sure it was OK, but sometimes better safe than sorry.
