Hey guys. I wanna whiten my PCE, and I've read about various methods to do so, my question is are these methods temporary? I've heard they are. What's the best method to use?
-
Bleach works for years at least.

Google Retrobrite. There is quite a bit of info out there, including YouTube videos of the process. The easiest method is getting cream peroxide from a beauty supply. You brush it on and it says in place while it does its thing.
Good luck!

My PCE changed back to at least as yellow as it was before. Considering how much time I spent disassembling all that stuff (PCE, IFU, and CDROM2), making the paste, putting it in the sun every day, under a UV lamp at night, etc there is no way on earth I would waste my time on a process like this again. Next time it's getting painted. No question. Paint stays white more or less forever.

I was actually thinking of doing this to my cdrom2 the taking it apart and soaking it solution in daylight etc....

Thanks for the info guys! I think I might go the paint method. Just sucks I'm shit at spray painting.

UV lamp and Salon Care 40 Volume Creme.

The SFC and Saturns I have done look fine and it's been a couple years at least.

I've had good results using hydrogen peroxide on PCEs and controllers and they have stayed white.

Fill a zip lock with hydrogen peroxide. Put it in direct sunlight. Works better than pastes under uv.
