I wonder should it be considered a serious breach of honesty in the #retrocomputing community to fail to report previous retrobrighting attempts, when selling on a piece of equipment. Buyers shouldn't have to ask.
I'd certainly want to know. For me, it could be make or break for the sale.

In case you didn't get the news: don't 'retrobrite' stuff.

Heheh, guess the retrobriting worked. Next time I’ll remember to treat the screw covers as well

Taking advantage of the sun and trying my hand at RetroBriting.
I couldn’t seem to avoid streaking with cling wrap (plus, I fucking hate hate hate cling wrap), so I’m just babysitting these, and occasionally re-applying the cream and sometimes just wetting it down with a brush and water to smear it around.
We’ll see. Some of these were really bad, and I’m starting to see some improvement.
I had no luck with the sunlight only technique, but maybe it’ll help even out some of the blotches & streaks after I wipe these down.
I tried to remove the bezel from the monitor, but the way it’s mated to the CRT made it a high risk, low reward proposition.

First I decided against retrobriting the Commodore 128 case. Then I decided against that again. Now it's done, and I'm glad I did. The 128 looks sharp now, methinks. Weird how this thing is sleek and massive at the same time #commodore #commodore128 #retrocomputing #retrobrite

#Macintosh SE/30 ready to go. Clean with #BlueSCSI, #retrobrite, and recap. Used the brush on technique with SalonCare 30 Volume Creme Developer. Requires brushing a bit more on every 15 minutes to prevent streaking for about 90 minutes in the sun.

I usually use the clear formula immersion technique and that takes several days. This is obviously quicker and I had time to baby sit it.

My first full-scale #Retrobrite. This process really does work well 🎉. #Macintosh Classic looking better already.

Built a #retrobrite chamber for some old Mac parts. Added some 20% H2O2.

After thorough cleaning and removal of the sticker it’s sunbathing time.
