Tried something thin? How about ear cleaners? Cotton swabs? I dunno… that’s thin… You’d probably end up using a whole box and spend alot of time though… just a random idea, might be a stupid idea, dunno… Although they might only really be useful for detailed polishing or something or not good for anything heh… try it… looks like it needs scrubbing more than polishing… ---

oh yeah, and if you are using an electric spinning device (drill, dremel) make sure you don’t get the polish into the air colling vents, it facks up the motor very quickly. Don’t ask me how I know. ---
