Apple ][+ cleaning

Tried to scrub the Apple ][+ lid with basic dishwashing Sunlight and brush, worked quite nicely. This plastic is heavy and seem to attach itself lot of black stuff wich came out very easily with this solution. Let's see how the whole case turns out.

Quite. I usually start with an unheated, quick wash cycle in the dishwasher with no soap at all.

It was quite easy task, as the case is painted, the dirt comes off really easy. I'll do the same treatment to my Apple ][ europlus as well.

Precisely because the case is painted, you should take care in how you wash the case.

Very likely you have now very small pinholes all around the case from air bubbles that popped through the paint. Check very closely. They are little black spots.

Can't see any black holes. I used soft brush and let it soak a bit and used luke-warm water to wash it off with some rubbing.

Remember that Magic Eraser is abrasive so use it sparingly. It's like 1500 grit wet sandpaper.
