Hi from Argentina!

[sebastianmaciel]

Hello everyone!

I'm Sebastián. I used to work with computers as an IT support worker. Nowadays, I'm still in the IT world but as a frontend software engineer.

Every once in a while, I get my hands on an old computer, and now I'm going to try to restore one, initially to install Mame and see how it goes.
Also, I'm attempting to restore the old plastic yellowing using Retr0bright. So far, it's looking promising. I'll post some results if anyone wants to see.

Great community. See you all!

Seba.

Welcome to Amibay

I would have thought in the part of the world you live in SunBrighting maybe the best thing

Oh, I wasn't aware of that technique! I'm trying it right now for some parts that weren't fully whitened.

Welcome to Amibay!

Which method are you using for retro-bighting?

I've read the main thread by gazcbm and got my hands on a 40% Peroxide and Vanish Oxy. I have to say that the results were amazing, but the SunBrighting after that was not very good. I even suspect that made it yellowish again.

I'm amazed by the chemistry behind all that.
