I got mine from Natchez Shooters Supply.  The two items you'll need, from them, is Brownells J&B Bore Cleaner and Kroil.  You'll also need a stout cleaning rod that will except a 20 guage bore brush and some green scotch brite pads (Walmart) that you can cut to fit around the bore brush.  The last item will be a battery powered drill that will turn around 500-1000 rpm's and you'll be set.

It worked for me, but I only used two of the rods.  Just make sure you use a 20ga hull with the primer knocked out as a rod guide.  It wasn't mentioned, but you'll need a .410 brush as well to wrap the ScotchBrite around.

I used a hone as well.  It's the way to go in my opinion.  I think the one I have is "course".  I run it first to knock out all the rough stuff and then I fine polish with the scotchbright and JP bore paste.
