Spots on steel parts from tumbling

Q. Hello
I am having a problem while tumbling steel parts using stainless steel pins, there are small dots left on the parts after tumbling.

I am using water with Holdtight 102 ⇦[this on eBay or Amazon affil links] -- approx. 500 ml water to 1 tsp of Holdtight.

If I dip the parts in muriatic acid ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] afterwards the marks are reduced greatly.

How to solve this problem when tumbling steel parts using stainless steel pins ?
