If we are talking about Bakelite "plastic" knob polishing, please see the article on "buffing bakelite" radio cases (unpainted). The method will also clean and polish some less hard, non-bakelite plastics, but caution must be used to not allow the buffing to get too hot. Softer plastic items will melt right in your hands.
