    Sonicare toothbrush ($50), small crockpot set on low ($20), and some
    ammonia ($5). That would be the ultra low budget solution to get
    polishing grime out of every nook and cranny in your piece. If you
    can, get real polishing removal compound from Rio or other jewelry
    supply store, its doesnt quite have the stench that ammonia does. You
    may have to break in the toothbrush a bit to *soften* the bristles. 

    If this thing can get plaque off of my teeth, polishing compound
    wont stand a chance against it.
