Metal Washing Process to preserve shot blasted luster

DEAR SIR,

WE ARE MANUFACTURING AUTO PARTS. ALL OUR PARTS ARE FORGED IRON (MATERIAL - EN-9). OUR PROCESS: WE PROCESS THE FORGED PARTS WITH SHOT BLASTING FOR CLEANING & SHINY SURFACE. 2) WE APPLY RUST PREVENTIVE FOR COATING THE PRODUCT FOR FURTHER PROTECTION FROM RUST. 3) AFTER THE MANUFACTURING WE WASH IT WITH M .T. O (MINERAL TERPINTER OIL) FOR REMOVING RUST PREVENTIVE OILS. 4) AFTER THE WASH, THE NON-MACHINED PART LOOSES ITS SURFACE SHINING.

WE REQUEST YOU TO ADVISE US THE WASHING PROCESS THROUGH WHICH THE FINISHED PRODUCT REGAINS THE SHINY SURFACE AS IT SHINES AFTER SHOT BLASTING.

Find a proprietary chemical supplier who will give you a neutral PH to mildly alkaline spray cleaner that will not attack but rather brighten the parts.
