I read a tip on another site to try 3M Imperial hand glaze. I tried it and works amazingly well on all bakelite knobs and cabinets I've shined up - and some were in terrible shape. Soaked into a cloth, it does a great job shining up tube bases as well. I've found that two rounds of application with a soft cloth works best. Carquest auto parts stores are where I've found it.
