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, at £3.00 a tube
plus postage. Larger quantities and trade supplies from Greygate
Chemical Company, Brunel Way, Coalville, Leicester. LE67 3HF.
They also make special liquid polish for Perspex-type plastics.
