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.

Subject: [Healeys] Restoring Bakelite
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.
