I totally agree.
I switched to Dunhill polishing cloths after that.
Me too. I love this cloth so much I stocked up and hoarded extra because they can be hard to find at times. Remember to wipe the pipe immediately after smoking, while it's warm.
This is for quick wipes after smoking. Making this step a habit will cut down on the need for heavy buffing later.
Like Jesse said, Halcyon II and Paragon work well. And again, apply with your hand, smooth it around and rub hard (similar to shining shoes military style).
Carnuba wax is great, but you need a buffer wheel to apply correctly. Right? Well, here is secret Ninja society trick and little known fact. Tom Eltang started using his special yellow suede leather pipe bags to provide a buffing cloth for the pipe. You turn it inside out and melt Carnuba all over both sides (melt via a direct candle flame then when the block is hot/moist, rub it directly and roughly on the leather using elbow grease, do this a few times util you have a good coating). Then turn the bag right side out and put your pipe in the bag, the hot freshly melted carnuba is on the inside. Rub your pipe mortise aggressively and evenly. It will come out very shinny.
You could do a similar technique with any suede pipe bag if you can find one, or make your own. Or use an old Dunhill polishing cloth (but I've tried and it just doesn't work as well as that bag turned inside out then coated then right side out).
Here is an example of the Eltang leather pipe bag on the left and a shinny virgin smooth chimney right after buffing with the bag.
