Picked up a G.E. 115 today in great shape but case is dull. Tried various methods such as rubbing compound, then Mequires products(glaze, scratch remover, wax) Even wet sanded with 2000 grit first but still can't get shine back.

I've done this with metal parts, any reason I couldn't do it with bakelite?

Thanks,
