See if you can find the old formula Brasso (in a metal can). It is great for polishing Bakelite.

I've also tried Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish and it worked surprisingly well. It was a situation where I was in a hurry...the can of Mother's was sitting there...I tried it and it worked...and as a bonus, it leaves far less residue than the Brasso does.
