Restoring Pipe Mouthpieces Without Power Tools?

We have all dealt with the same problem. How do you clean all that nasty oxidation off of your favorite pipe? I mean, oxidation is an inevitability with even the highest quality ebonite, but how can you get rid of it without a shop full of power tools? Moreover, how do you clean it up without ruining it? In this video I show you how to restore the glossy newness of your favorite mouthpiece with only MicroMesh sanding pads, some White Diamond polishing compound, and a microfiber cloth.

So, sit back, watch the demo, and give it a shot with your favorite pipe. Actually, why don’t you first try it out on your second favorite pipe—you know, for practice.
