Unlike retrobrite, the super glue will take off logos printed on the cases. It's surprising how fast it works.. 30 seconds and the un-yellowed original plastic shows through. All the texture is still there so it's a light layer being removed by the glue. Not really applicable but interesting.

If the area was already smooth, that's the end of the filling process, but if the area had some texture, I'll try (keyword here being try) to recreate the texture by knicking it with a rounded pointy object (tedious process). But note this filling only works because I usually paint the machines...

I usually leave the little marks alone, treat it like patina. I just don't like orange level yellowing and cracks (for structural considerations) and big gashes, missing chunks, etc. The annoying ones are where large educational institutions carved their name/equipment # into the case, super...
