And meanwhile Spray Nine is not overly powerful and is gentle compared to Fantastic etc. I ended up with excellent results as an end result and of course sun has its effect on Bakelite as well. This is why I used extreme caution at first and much cigar cigarette tar came off. The cloth is very brown and should be pale cream color again indicating how bad the tar was. This polishing compound is ultra fine for finishing clear coat to a glass like appearnance and if some revitalization is required the wax (Turtle Wax) certainly did the trick. Since I'm not able to post picture it would appear, I would have posted before and after pictures!! As for Microsoft Paint and Photo editors this means ALWAYS uploading pictures to a desktop or laptop PC (since my Crapple diePhone won't work and being proprietary pay pay pay I will be ditching it soon). I'm sure I'm not the only one with this opinion for what is required to post pictures. Ah yes opinions are like "a holes, we all have one"

PS since this is a so called British set which in reality is an American Philco PHILco Battery CO wearing a disguise impersonating a British name hahaha then perhaps this thread should be moved to the foreign sets??
