Forget brasso. It has ammonia in it and can dull the bakelite. It's the old brasso in a metal can that works well. I've used novus #2 and simichrome with good results. Also Maguire's cleaner wax with contains a mild abrasive. Brown shoe polish or stain can help bring some color back to faded bakelite
