Yes, don't do it by hand, use a machine.

You'll never achieve what a buffing attachment can do when hooked up to a drill.

I started polishing with a drill and a basic polishing kit I picked up from Sears (~$10).
I've since moved up to better tools but these were the results from using a drill:

What you've done is great.
I'd leave it how it is now if you only plan on polishing the inside of the TB.
Do you plan on polishing the exterior of the TB?

Yea, guys, I'd concentrate on the outside more than the inside, unless you're just doing it for practice. You won't be seeing any gains from polishing the inside.
