Bill, The Brasso and Glayzit were tried last year. Results irritated me so the whole mess went in a box till now. What I can't tell is how deep the "oxidized" surface is. I have zero other experience
rubbing out bakelite. I have rubbed out car paint that looked much worse than this, so I thought the abrasive sanding, steel wool route might take off the whole coating over the matting. Same with rubbing compound, but maybe that is what I need.
The underside has none of the feathered cloudiness. I can read newsprint or trim my moustache in the finish on the top spot that I have "Mothered" with a rag, but even there the feathering remains. Needs to be fed? Do you mean it's time to go carnuba? What the H**l, nothing to lose. I like to tape off areas and try different things so I will report back on what else does not work. If nothing else I can display it upside down to show off the swirl.
