How good is good enough? Chimney sweeping.

Swept my chimney this weekend and found the stove pipe had a thin buildup of creosote. pic 1 is a pictue of the inside of the stove pipe before cleaning. How does this look for 2.5 months?

Pic 6 is after cleaning. A thin layer of hard creosote was left behind close to the connections of the pipe. The brush would not take this buildup off. Figure I will spray a remover at the end of the season. But then again isn't the pipe going to have little buildup.

Pic 2 is the horizontal pipe exiting my home to the chimney. This area accumulated the most.

Chimney after sweeping. Only filled up half a coffee can with buildup. Overall after several months chimney was in good shape. My concern is the stove pipe.
