Another finish restoring method which I use on all of those thick gloss finishes is a rub down with liquid medium to coarse automotive paint compound followed by a paste wax. This method cleans the junk off, and restores a spectacular original gloss finish.
Although it sounds outrageous, after the compounding I wipe over any scratches and crevices (or the entire radio) with a dilute solution of walnut wood stain. It doesn't stain the wood or lacquer but permanently eliminates the minute and major scratches and wear. Just wipe it off with a rag before waxing.
