Not sure where I read it once, but it's recommended to throw a coarse steel wool pad into the heated phosphate solution for about 30 minutes before the first use.  I've found if I don't do this, the color will be lighter.

I usually use manganese phosphate from Palmetto.

That is an ingredient of Sporty's description of P&O. It is what he passed on to me.
