Can anyone share their experiences and recommendations about buffing out minor blemishes and restoring the luster? I assume that they did have some degree of luster to them, didn't they?

Thanks,
Jim

Go to this thread:

It is about knobs but applies equally to Bakelite cabinets.

Try that excalibur stuff too and report the results, I can't find it locally.
