The Mini PowerBall is perfect for the throats of the B&Bs, and I think it helps the bass notes!

Somebody turned me on to Mothers Billet Metal Polish. It may have been you LDJ, and it works great.

I've tried Mothers Billet Metal Polish and NXT Metal Polish along with the Mini PowerBall to apply them...and I found nothing has yet to beat the Eagle One Never Dull Wadding Polish (done by gloved hand) on my Corsa Sport Tips.
