Retr0brite and White Apple Pro Keyboards

[Scott Baret]

I've noticed almost every white Apple Pro Keyboard has turned a rather disgusting yellow shade these days. Since most of us have used Retr0brite exclusively on pre-iMac equipment, I'm curious if any of you have ever tried it on one of these keyboards and if so, how well it worked.

Hmmm I was hoping someone might have tried this too... Would love to get my white Pro keyboards looking good again.

I even noticed it on my son's eMac. The back shell seems unaffected but the front bezel has yellowed several shades. I have a 512k and a Quadra 700 apart at the moment ready for retrobright. Once I finish those I'll tackle his eMac and the white pro keyboard that came with it (also yellowing). It'll be a few weeks but I'll let you know!

You guys should try meguiar's plastic polish, I've had a really great experience with that stuff. I used it on my white macbook's lid and it removed most of the yellowing, and polished the area where the finish was eaten away. I'm not sure about the finish on the eMacs, but if it's like the iMac G4, stick to a melamine foam (magic) eraser.

I also tried a car spray polish to clean my Imac G3 and powermac G4 casings, get a very shiny look.
