Pipe restoration questions

I've been working on a few estate restores myself. So far I've been doing this method.

-Soak stem in Oxy Clean
-rinse
-Use booze soaked bristle cleaners until no brown gunk
-rinse
-Scrub with Magic Erasor
-rinse
-Use Walker Briar Works Stem restore Kit http://www.walkerbriarworks.com/html...store_kit.html

For the pipe itself, the stem restore kit comes with a polish which is nice. I use spit and q-tips to remove rim build up / charring and ream the bowl back to bare wood.

Have yet to try and remove any teeth marks from stems yet. I use the soft pipe bits for my stems and they usually cover up any teeth marks.
