polishing bakelite
(1/1)
USSEnterprise:
Picked up an old GE tube radio at a garage sale for $10 today. Works well, but trying to get it looking nice. The outside is made of bakelite, with a faux burlwood design. the bakelite is hazed over with scratches, though. What can I use to polish it up? I was thinking some Novus 2, but I don't want to make it worse.
RayB:
bakelite = plastic.
So, whatever polishes plastic (is there anything??)
Ken Layton:
Yes, Novus #2 works wonders on Bakelite plastic. I've done several old radios and telephones with it. Have patience though, use lots of elbow grease and it'll look like new.
