Bakelite restoration
#2

If I get one with a dull or really scratched/scuffed finish I wet sand it smooth and coat it with satin lacquer. I haven't figured out any way to get the gloss back once it's gone. wax and or buffing always seems to make the finish spotty which looks as bad as an all dull finish.

So I too would like to know of a way to bring it back without clear coating, although lacquer looks really good, as good as when it was new.
