That’s why you hire a professional, and no they are not the same thing but the article I linked specified they do BOTH of these things.  And yes, you DO know what kind of reaction you’re going to get.  The retrobrite page very specifically describes exactly what the chemical process is.  It’s reversible simply by…

And look at my post.  They conserve AND restore, they do both.  They document carefully every restoration.  Sometimes it’s done via chemical alteration.  Retrobrite is chemically restoring the plastic to the state it was in when it first left the factory.  You WANT this.  This is a good thing.

They do it all the time. What are you talking about? It’s a whole career!
Conservation and restoration are the only way to make sure we don’t lose all our museum pieces to time.

I should add that this article indicates that all treatments of restoration should be reversible.  Retrobrite is itself a reversing of the…

I have some bad news for you.  Apple doesn’t seem to care about making gaming quality computers any more.  You would do well to move on, because Apple just wants to make phones and tablets now.

Hey, anyone remember OnLive?  I remember OnLive.  People STILL don’t actually care about streaming games.

And to think to this day there’s people upset that Doom isn’t as “scary” as it used to be, as though it was EVER really scary.

Filthy filthy table money, that’s a SIN in the eyes of the invisible hand.

It does, look how yellowed it is, and it’s only going to get worse.  Don’t worry about it harming the plastic.  Retrobrite is specially designed to chemically reverse the process, which will leave it identical to how it was when it was first done.

This thing needs Retrobrite.

Please won’t somebody please use retrobrite on this thing?

Yes, for accidentally firing a gun “in his own home”.

Remorseful is fine if you just insulted someone. He was playing around with a gun. Remorse just doesn’t cut it here.  Someone could have been killed.

Just remember, this guy could be your neighbor.  Stay low.

So... baby Yoda is supposed to be like Yoda’s origin story right? Does he meet baby nut?  Is he as cute as baby nut?  Baby nut’s cuter guys.  No like- really though.  You think you’re better than me?!

I don’t like it....  If they add an event, it should exist in the game for ETERNITY! (Echoes)

Wait, they do time limited events in Sword and Shield?  This is not completionist friendly.

The only extra feature I could ask for at this point is the ability to trade games with other users.  Give me that and digital rights will essentially be no different than physical rights.

I’ve visited a few of them. They’re well designed and if Gamestop hadn’t already destroyed all their good will over the past 15 years, I’d love to spend time there. However, there’s already plenty of places for nerds to hang out and play games just in Tulsa alone.

All in all I’d rank this as “good idea, well executed,…

Not to mention the pointless nonsense that was letting Garrosh escape to an alternate reality full of brown orcs. Alternate reality people! Nothing we did there mattered! Then Thrall cosplaying as Akuma showed up and strangled him and.... wait why did he even put him in charge in the first place? Why did the horde…

Hey I’m not saying the 3DS does everything right, but at least with OS updates both blow the competition out of the water in speed.  I turn on my 3DS and it asks me to reboot.  Less than 5 seconds later I’m on the updated OS.
