Title: Scuff marks
Post by: pxlbluejay on August 07, 2019, 06:25:18 pm
My Famicom is great in every way except for three facts: I'm not sure if it works or not(yet), It's kinda yellowed(well, it's hard to tell, but it sure isn't perfect white) and lastly, it has really annoying scuff marks right in its face(under the Family Computer label). Is there any way to remove this without Mr. Clean or any sort of special "equipment"? You know, with only wet wipes, cotton swabs, alcohol, and baking soda? I've tried almost everything possible with the "Holy Four" cleaning materials, and none worked, and that scuff marks are beginning to annoy me to death. Plz help!

You pretty much need Magic Eraser to clean tough scuffs. Sometimes, they won't come off and then you would need sand paper. As long as it isn't on your Family Computer metallic label, you can go ahead and scrub with the Magic Eraser. ;)

Thanks, the magic eraser did the job. But I ran into another problem. I started to trust that thing way to much, and I ended up scraping the texture off a rare Hyundai Comboy SMW cart.

You know that it's basically just sandpaper right?

When I use a magic eraser I always use it with some isopropyl alcohol,using it dry can cause some damage if your not careful.

I didn't know it until a few days ago...
Stupid me!
