Yeah, this stuff has been around for a while (there are reviews on the Amazon listing going back to at least 2021). Seems to be effective based on what many of them say.

Nice, I'll have to try to brighten up one of my Macs . . . after over two decades of collecting. :rolleyes:

I've had fantastic results from plain old peroxide and water at a tenth of the price. It kinda seems like preying on folks who don't know that... like many other products.

No doubt there, good results have been achieved with all kinds of crazy concoctions/methods . . . given enough experimentation.
No fuss/no muss has a quality all its own. ;) Hopefully this is the original formulation? It's branded with the trademarked name. ISTR RetroBrite was originally developed by materials science types with plastics expertise? |

Yes, Retro-Brite has been around for quite a while. It used to come in a plastic can that you would brush on. I got some of the new stuff and dumped it in the old can and brushed it on as I'm a little skeptical that the spray would give a uniform result. Brushing works great if you put on frequent coats perpendicular to the previous coat in order to avoid streaking. One day in the sun and you've got a new-looking computer - it's my goto retrobriting method!

You could probably spread it with wiping pads or shop cloths too, couldn't you?
