A mixed bed polishing process for regeneration of an exhausted mixed resin bed of cation exchange and anion exchange resins of different densities comprising the steps of scrubbing with air the exhausted mixed resin bed and adding into the mixed resin bed inert resins having a density intermediate the densities of the cation exchange and anion exchange resins. The exhausted mixed resin bed is backwashed to separate into three layers the cation exchange, anion exchange and inert resins. The anion exchange resins are transferred to an anion regenerator; and then, the inert resins are transferred to an inert resin storage tank. The cation exchange resins are regenerated with acid; and then, the anion exchange resins are regenerated with caustic regenerant. The regenerated cation exchange and regenerated anion exchange resins are separately rinsed, and then, mixed together and rinsed.
