The "official" stuff here on Airstrip One, is called
"Paste, Polishing, No.5"
and originally used by the GPO for cleaning Bakelite
telephones. It's also
sold commercially as "Bake-O-Brite" ore somesuch, and can
usually be found
on eBay.

Basically it's a wax polish with a mild abrasive added.

Chris.


I wonder if automobile rubbing compound would work. This
is used for restoring badly oxidized finishes or for
painting where several coats of laquer are to be used.
Its sold under many brand names and can be found in any
auto parts house and most hardware stores.
