Why don't you send a few of the pieces that did not shine so well to someone with a vibe who can put them through medium, fine, and AO polish in a short time. I think the results - either way - would be educational for this board.
My vibe is not set up right now or I would volunteer.

I use Borax after every stage except for rough. I use about 1 Tablespoon in barrel for burnish after I have rinsed rocks then run for 8 hours. After polish stage I run burnish for 24 hours. It is a cleaning additive, you can use it on dishes, clothes and rocks, and a lot of other things.
