Cream Proxide 12%, wrap the A500 in glad wrap (cling film / plastic film for those state side) and 3 hours and some sun light later and you will have an amazing looking Amiga :-)

I need to try the film, I always have problem with peroxide drying too fast in the sun.
I will try it on the keyboard I'm restoring right now which is very yellow. I got it from someone and it is filthy, see the picture -before and almost after.



Nice, looking good. Would like to see the end product :-)

I'm always curious ... can you retrobright keyboards?  What happens to the letter transfers?  Do they block the retrobright process?  Do they remain in place?  


I will let you know :-) But going by many threads I've read it shouldn't be an issue with keys/logo's.

The Cream peroxide product I'm going to try has good results and you can brush it on. However you need a lot of sun or bight UV light.

Heres a good read :-)

They also recommend using a clear coat to keep it looking good as retrobright/peroxide process it starts to go back to it's original yellow after a year.
