[Healeys] Restoring Bakelite

[Heard Saxon]

Not sure if this is the same stuff, but way back when, in a former life, I
used to do maintenance on dot matrix printers.  There was a liquid used for
the platens (the rubber roller for the paper) that did the same thing.  It
would remove all ink and put a nice shine on those things.  Made 'em look
very black and very new.  I don't think bakelite is rubber, though.

Can't for the life of me remember what that stuff was called.

The subject of restoring bakelite such as our steering hubs and knobs on 
some of our cars comes up from time to time, I got this from the MG section 
of the British Car Forum, haven't tried it, but a couple of guys said it 
works very well,  if you are trying to get your bakelite to look a little 
better may be worth a try.

Also if any listers have had experience with it good or bad feel free to 
weigh in on the subject.
