Granted, he did mention retrobrite. But as I said elsewhere there are too many people reporting success and satisfaction that a blanket dismissal of the process isn't really justified. As that currently ongoing C64 thread points out, there are many 'recipes' that indeed don't work well, but some apparently do; here's another quote:
"...Everything's good that works. I found all the "original" and improved" retr0bright recipes doing as much harm as good, next to requiring definitely non-negligible effort. I eventually found one that works well but takes lots of time. Yours seem as best compromise. Shall have to try it." m ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian White To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, June 12, 2017 10:14 PM Subject: Re: [M100] Removing scratches from plastic protector for LCD?

It degrades the plastic even more, and doesn't even stay white anyway.

Thanks John! I just ordered a set of the Novus 1 & 2 compounds to try it out. I still need to get a batch of Retrobrite put together and use that on the top cover. I plan to mask off the lens first and go from there.
