The following advice came to us through the webmaster email address. The poster (Vickie) could not navigate the phorum but wanted to offer the advice so here it is...

"Wanted to give advice on how to get mirror Finnish on bakelite but your website to hard to use, so tell you, my friend has a ford pop with bakelite dash,was oxidised looking old, got him to 4000 grit sand it then I polished it on my bench grinder I have two wheels one sisal, one loose calico, used blue plastic compound wax stick,came up better than new , but it takes some time as you have to keep it moving so as not to make to much heat in one spot, hope this helps restoring anyone who wants shiny bakelite"
