[abeisgreat]

Well, what else were you planning on getting? Some magical spray?

Hell, sand the whole thing down, why don'tcha? Or is that too much work too?

For someone who's asked for advice and has been given various valid suggestions, you're acting very ungrateful. Both replacing the case and using whitening solutions could work with little effort, and if you're not willing to do that, why take the time to ask and waste the time of everyone who replied?

I will admit I was being a tad arrogant, but I dont see replacing the case as being an option because I got it in a trade and If i went out and got a broken nes it would make the trade negative to me so thats not really an option. And the shoe whitener thing might work, but a yellowed nes top platic layer would have to be removed to restore the color and If anything it would make it different not restore it

Sometimes you have to go the extra mile to get what you want. What were you hoping you'd get? Someone to tell you your piss would clean it up?

I thought maybe someone knew of a proven chemical that would help. And there is a difference between an extra mile and making the nes worthless. Im not going to put more into it then what i paid for it.

Here's a little summary for repair:

Magic Erasers (melamine foam) - Great for surface dirt. Good for very light surface discoloration, but it will rub off painted logos and subtle textures like an abrasive.

Sandpaper - Scrape your way to fresh plastic underneath. Not recommended for historical purists or console rights activists.

Paint - Cover up that ugly yellowed plastic and turn your SNES into a shiny ode to Heinz ketchup.

Bleach - I’ve had very limited success with letting bleach sit on Macintosh cases. When it does work, it’s difficult to get a uniform effect unless you can soak the whole piece in bleach equally. This probably damages the structure of the plastic and might cause another type of yellowing — so beware!

Acetone - Many people have mentioned acetone as a good way to clean off some plastic yellowing. The only reason this might work is because most plastics dissolve in acetone. If you use this method, be aware that you’re doing damage to the plastic — you’re wiping it away.

My personal favorite is the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers since I can use them for everything.

Hope this helps.
