I am always skeptical about using an abrasive wax on bakelite. That coating on bakelite only lasts so long before you're down to the substrate. After that, no more shine. I had 2 cabinets in that condition and was able to use cherry Restor-A-Finish then a couple coats of beeswax to get a decent finish. It took a month for the Restor-A-Finish to completely dry.
