Plexus -- The Holy Grail for Amiga plastics?

[amiga92570]

I don't know what causes it, but not one of the amigas I own has turned yellow. All my 500's, 600's, 1200's are original biege/white color.

I feel pretty fortunate myself, even my C128 (which saw pretty heavy use for several years) has remained beige. Just keep 'em clean, out of the sun and away from temperature extremes, and with a little luck they'll stay that way until some excavator digs them up in 2480... and says, "ah, these amigas are preserved most excellently, must have used Plexus" :-P

And for those of you who smoke (tobacco at least) maybe smoke in another room. The smoke from that can stain anything and then of course there's the risk of burnt plastic. Glad I haven't touched a cig in years, gotta protect my Commies!

Hi,
I use NOVUS type 2 even for my CD and LaserDisc, and it works too.

OK, all silliness aside, 5 years later and _none_ of the computers treated with Plexus have yellowed even a little. I still do my best to keep them out of the sun, dry and away from temperature extremes, etc.

Only downside is the toxic chemical blast, so I use it rather sparingly, with no one else home and open windows. :-/ Still, seems effective for keeping cases looking new, especially after "retrobrighting" since those plastics may be more prone to yellowing again.
