My normal way of doing things is dump the cases first into my vibe cleaner with (old dirty) Lyman treated corncob media to "pre-clean" any dirt etc. off. I will run them 1 or more hours which depends on what I am doing and I do this most often days or weeks before loading time. With the pre-cleaned cases I then size them. Then I put them back into the tumbler with a different batch of Lyman treated corncob with some New-finish auto polish added to it. I run it 3 or 4 hours and they come out looking like new. I then inspect and clean out the primer pockets for any media stick in them and poke out any in the flash hole and use my RCBS primer pocket brush to clean the primer pocket. I then measure the cases and if need trimming I do this. Then I load them.
