I take mine apart and wash with soap and water the plastic inside and out. Plastic polishes can help but usually make it worse. Cleaning the dust off the inside usually makes the biggest improvement. Good luck. Jason Date: Thu, 3 May 2012 12:26:30 -0700 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: How to buff plastic and remove scratches?
I just posted a separate subject on an iMac G3... Anyway, I'd like to clean it up. I think some of the scuffs and scratches are a little too deep for basic polishing using a product called 'Ice Cream' by Radtech. That being said, does anybody know what I could use to buff out scratches and scuffs on this plastic? What's the best technique? I was thinking along the lines of very fine grit sandpaper, possibly steel wool, etc... I don't know where to start exactly, though. I DON'T want to scratch up the case. It's a very old and very beat-up iMac that I would be proud to restore to 'like new' condition, if possible. Anybody with experience, I need your two cents.
