Default Safely Polishing Bakelite Mallory 2-piece Caps

I have a stash...and Bubba if you're reading this, they'll end up at your shop...including the coveted brown...which seems sound, but has the typical oxidation. Any tips how to bring back the beauty?

Also...can you replace the carbons with the new Mallory parts available? I have a couple with missing/worn/chipped carbons.

Thanks!

I use it on some of my target rifles.You won't find another product that has the capabilities. Also does amazing results in leather steering wheels.Used by museums worldwide.
