PSA: Retrobrighting your SNES with cheap hair bleach works better than the expensive kits
Switched from paying $45 for that retrobrighting goop online to just grabbing a $6 bottle of 40 volume hair developer from Sally Beauty and some clear gel. Did my yellowed SNES shell last weekend. Left it in the sun for 4 hours and it came out whiter than my buddy's console he bought new. The expensive stuff is just peroxide with a fancy label. Anyone else skip the branded junk?

Tried the same thing with a yellowed Game Boy shell and a $3 bottle of generic 40 volume from Walmart. Worked just as good as the kits I used before, maybe even better.

Worked for me too with a Sega Genesis shell I picked up for five bucks. So why spend more when the cheap stuff gets the yellow out just fine?
