Hey thanks Mike, I never would have thought of using "burnisher" as a search term for these! I'll give them a try sometime.
Until then, I believe my homemade tool has several advantages:
Far less likely to cause accidental damage.
Being essentially a deep soft pad, it can reach places the burnisher can't (the other side of raised sections/protuberance).
It is always immediately available.
Some company probably makes a similar tool that uses a soft pad, but I haven't yet found it...
