    Thinking of makin up some of this.
    I had all my consoles in storage for the last 2 years, my mint nes was in the attic boxed and when opened it's completely yellowed, wouldn't mind cleaning the snes while I'm at it.
    Here's a link to the stuff

    Anyone have any experience making it and where did they get the ingredients in Ireland?

    Same here. Want to shine up the dreamcast. I think I have some old keyboards that I could test on too.

    Yeah, I've used it a good bit.

    You need to wait until there is a bit of sun out to get it to work properly, unless you have a UV lamp that is.

    You'll get most of the bits you need in a Chemist. They may ask you a few questions about what its for as some of the items are controlled I think.

    I got them in the old style Chemist in Monkstown.

    Glycerine - pharmacy
    Hydrogen Peroxide - hair dresser supplies shop, there is one on Middle Abbey St.

    Oxy thingy - not necessary needed, but Lidl brand does the same job and costs much less!
