Gun Talk Tips/Advice for Refinishing Bakelite?

Details

I want to clean up some old bakelite I have. I've got mags, but more importantly bayonets, an EG lower handguard, and AK/M16 grips. I want to shine these up nicely, but I don't want to damage them, especially the stippling. I've seen a lot of guides online, but I wanted to ask here about the process, and any tips to get a nice shiny finish without damaging the bakelite.
