the case with Brasso and then soaked it in Glayzit and polished vigorously. Neither

Mother's Mag polish. Yes? Novus 3-2-1 ?

All in one day? That ain't gonna work. Icon_smile

Nice thing about wood is that it is consistent. Bakelite runs the gamut in quality and wear. Needs to be fed.

If you get a handle on abrasive 'polish' versus surface-shine 'polish' you can be successful with Bakelite Icon_smile

That sounds obtuse but you will understand what I mean when the can of Glayzit goes into the trash can.
