-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.

Totally right on, the oxyclean and magic eraser method works great and the Walker Briar works stuff is great too.
