Hey everyone,
I bought an iMac G3 Indigo 500 MHz from Summer 2001. It was pretty dirty, had sticker residue and paint everywhere on it, and the mouse was encrusted with dirt. I mean, that thing was dirty. So, I decided to clean the whole darn thing up with some Goo Gone, Mr. Clean spray and Magic Erasers. I managed to get out every bit of gunk and paint out of the iMac, making it absolutely squeaky clean, but then I noticed some pretty nasty micro circular scratches on the blue plastic where I used the magic eraser. It isn't very noticeable, but when looking at it directly it shows and it really bums me out.
Does anyone know a solution for removing those micro scratches? I read that plastic polishers do this job quite well, but I just wanted to make sure that I'm using the right stuff. If there's a specific product I should use that could get rid of them them while also removing some deeper scratches on other parts of the plastic, I would be really thankful. I'll do anything to save my baby
