you must have strong hands because that's really an impressive result. I have polished Fabspeed tips and using the Mother's polish and the Never Dull has not made a budge in the caked-on carbon. I'm hessitant to get out the dremmel, I might just send it out.

I once worked with a DIY'er guy who polished exhaust manifolds to mirror shines from oatmeal finishes. He used some sort of wheel brush.
