One of the best controllers ever. 20 years old and still working like day one. Modern controllers aren"t built to last. I just had to replace an analogue stick and flex pcb on a Dualshock 4 that was only 2 years old
So damn good. It's interesting how you use that lotion stuff and then dilute it with water for the retrobrite. I assume it's some kind of hair bleaching cream or something? It appears to do a better job than when people just use standard peroxide even when they use 12%.
Yes, it's a salon cream used for bleaching hair. I mix it with water to dilute it down to 3%, add a little Oxy fabric whitener, and then leave it under UV lamps for anything from a day to 3 days, depending on the amount of yellowing. Some people like to paint the cream on instead of mixing it with water and immersing the plastic in it, but this has a tendency to leave streaks on the plastic. I've used 12% solution in the past but I found that it can bleach the plastic, rather than just reversing the yellowing, so I went back to using a weaker solution over a longer period. It's useful to have an unaffected area, like the place where I removed the label on this controller, so that you have a point of comparison.
@@VVGRestoration Wow, that's awesome info. Thanks! Most channels do not really describe their retrobrite process so it'd be hard to replicate. But this says it all!
