Can anyone share their experiences and recommendations about buffing out minor blemishes and restoring the luster? I assume that they did have some degree of luster to them, didn't they?

Thanks,
Jim

It is about knobs but applies equally to Bakelite cabinets.

Try that excalibur stuff too and report the results, I can't find it locally.
