Cleaning of Your GC

Post by maciek_1988 » Sat Jan 18, 2014 2:03 am

Hello guys. Do You have any special methods for cleaning of Your cube? My wavebird is so yellow and front of GC too. Tomorrow I going to clean my console. I have read article about Cream Oximizer and tested it on my Dreamcast. The Effect was nice but short. After that operation should I give lacquer on it? Hmmm... Sorry for my poor english ;)

depending on the type of cleaning it needs...
for example i got a water hose and washed the GC with a jet sprayer...
then dried it all off with hot air...


...but maybe that approach is not for everyone

Check out Retr0Bright: http://retr0bright.wikispaces.com/
It worked great on my SNES, Dreamcast and Wavebird but it barely made a difference on the front of my Gamecube.

If the above methods don't work for you then try Mr. Clean Magic Eraser as a last resort. Personally never tried it but I have heard that it's like a very very fine sandpaper. Many have used it for the same reason but have said it can lighten up the texture a bit like on the SNES.
