Razors? Really? My Noctua would never dare cut me. The fins are smooth as a a baby's powdered bottom
Chris, what did you use to get between the fins? The best solution I have found is to use pipe cleaners.

Buffing it won't do anything but make it shiny, perhaps even leave a microfilm residue of the buffing compound on the fins that might attract dust even more.
I cleaned it first. With alcohol, Then I got a micro fiber cloth and worked on it and in between the fins, I then did the chrome polish with the dremel. Then after I let that sit I wiped it down and then got hot water and soap and sprayed it down. Then lastly I got a blow dryer and blow dried it until there wasn't 1 spec of water.

This reminds me when I had to take apart one of our computers which sits in a room where both my parents smoke. The fan smelled like cigarettes BLEH, it had this nasty gunk on it. The other "stuff" it hasn't come in contact with but maybe its time to improve it a few JIGA HERTZ. LOL
