...which thus brings us back to the point: alcohol can't remove yellowing.

But I've heard (not tried myself) people talking about getting rid of the yellow, which is indeed caused by exposure to sunlight, and thus UV rays, via washing. Haven't substanciated any evidence henceforth.

I too have heard people say this, but I believe it is false.  I suspect if they were able to wash it off then it was probably just dirt or cigarette smoke, not UV yellowing.

@adric22:

yeah, the same reason I've been hesitant myself. Maybe they have some really powerful detergent? Which melts away entire layers of plastic? :-D

To remove yellow: ISO-Methil-ketone (don't know the english name).

 Is that liquid yo momma/wife/girlfriens/sister/cousin (no offense) uses to clean out her nails.

Just rubs it with soft cottom in the yellowed plastic, then use some kind of neutral OIL to stop the ketone thing reaction, clean and "Hey, presto!", the yellowed goes away.

I do this on mine Miggy's cases to make palid/shiny white again.

Try on the original PSU first to see the results.

Nail polish remover actually melts the case a bit, so be careful and don't use too much. :-)

Hahaha, yo momma!

Thanks rkauer, I've used nail polish as well for cleaning, but I've never been too successful. I've mostly created anti-stains (extra white blotches). I'll have to try what you said about stoping the action of this thing, because as Jope says, it melts the plastic.

Which kind of neutral oil do you use?

Thanks

Any neutral oil. Believe, it's a momma's haircare stealing thing: hair oil (If you lives in europe: Garnier's hidraliss). Or any silicon oil (avoid that car's care stuff - contains solvents).

With a "secondary result": after all it smells good.  :roflmao:

I'm still waiting for someone at a metal shop to use an A3000 or A4000 face plate as a mold to cast a solid aluminum one and polish it. Would make a nice weekend project, and a killer looking Amiga:-D

I could have probably done it in school, but Amiga's and yellowing problems didn't exist at the time:-)

Hahahaha, cool, I'll hit yo momma for some supplies

On the other hand, I discovered the other day that nail polish will also help remove various spots on dry walls... Melts the paint, sorta, and makes a very smooth surface perfect for a projector! Muhahaha!


@Jeff:

hahaha, heck, for some, even Amigas didn't exist during school!

But, yeah, I'd love an aluminum case, or even a magnesium one, like the NeXT boxen!
