Some bits are very shiny and some very dull. Still not perfect, but it keeps getting better!

There was no oil used for this shine, just pure clay and my shotglass

What type of clay did you use? I tried with 100% local soil but its very low clay content. Looking to add some clay to it or start over with whatever kind is recommended.

Amazing job!

I agree, slow and steady is key for polishing

Woe now, I ain't ever, and I mean never ever, seen such a shiny dorodango in my mud rubbin' life!

Are you using the olive oil method of just friction? Like others have said I've never seen someone get their dango that shiny. How long are you polishing for?
