Bakelite scratch repair
#1

I know this has been discussed before, but I thought I would share something I found that really works.
For scratches in Bakelite I found that Turtle Wax headlight restorer really works. It is a kit that comes with different grades of sanding pads, a cleaner and compound for polishing.
After removing the scratches I polish with car wax and it looks great.
You can get it at any auto parts store.
