What can I use to paint or restore the firebrick panels inside my old Majestic MBU gas firebox?

While it is not recommended to paint firebrick panels, you may certainly use a stone/cement cleaner to restore them. An item such as
this will do the job of removing built-up soot stains and burn residue.
