Plastic Polish
- Despite the boring-sounding
name, Paste Polishing No. 5, is known to connoisseurs as the ideal
material for cleaning bakelite and other plastics (even plastic
baths!). Unlike Brasso and other liquid polishes, it leaves no
active residue, and as it also contains a waxy agent, it also
gives a gloss finish. Paste Polishing No. 5 is the stuff the Post
Office used to polish up their old bakelite phones and is marvellous
stuff - ask any user! Unfortunately the demand for it is reduced
nowadays (BT doesn't need it now!), so it is only manufactured
at intervals. You can buy it in small quantities under the name
Baykobrite from The Radiophile, Larkhill, Newport Road,
Woodseaves, Stafford, ST20 0NP, (01785 284696), at £3.00 a tube
plus postage. Larger quantities and trade supplies from Greygate
Chemical Company, Brunel Way, Coalville, Leicester. LE67 3HF,
tel 01530 839222, fax 01530 837084. They also make special liquid
polish for Perspex-type plastics.
