That site says all you need is oxy and weak hydrogen peroxide, I have the first thing but what's oxy?
I believe this is what you're looking for: http://www.oxiclean.com/
It's a stain remover with those annoying (but somehow great) Billy Mays commercials.
Make sure to wipe it down with your Sham-wow too!
<Sothy> its the internet <Sothy> who cares
Don't forget the power of Orange!
You know the germans make good stuff!
HI, BILLY MAYS HERE FOR THE VOICE MODULATION PROBLEM INDICATION SYSTEM... PLUGS RIGHT INTO YOUR USB PORT!
DERP
OH DUDE! Too soon!
I know that SNES consoles yellow like a son of a bitch. What toploader NES consoles? Do I have to keep mine locked up in the closet or can I leave it hooked up in a sunny room?
I don't keep it in direct sunlight, but there is a pretty large window in the room.
I'll say it was soon. In fact, it was about a month before he even died.OH DUDE! Too soon!
I see they have directions for making a gel to use. I can't find though how to just do it without bothering with any gels.
This is one of their SNES tries.....

I recently dug out my NES Top Loader and it has the same yellowing problem. Has anyone tried any of these solutions with the NES? Just wondering if there was any difference between the SNES and the Top Loaders.
Retr0bright was originally formulated for the yellowed plastic that some vintage computers get. The yellowing in these plastics is because of bromine in the plastic reacting with UV and turning the plastic yellow. So, NES, SNES, Commodore, it should work. (disclaimer: I've never actually used the stuff, yet.)
Awesomeness! Now that I know about this, I'm planning to use this method to de-yellow my Super Famicom. Hopefully I can get around to it by the end of next week, once I get around to buying the materials needed. I'm going to use 3% or higher H2O2 solution (10% preferred, but is pretty dangerous stuff if you're not careful!) + Oxi Clean + UV lamp or sunlight, and soak the SFC casing parts in a clear plastic tub.
Yay, time to put my chemistry goggles and latex gloves back on! This is going to be fun!(sorry, don't mind me - I'm a chemistry graduate who regularly did experiments with a few weird, potentially explosive chemicals...)
Once I'm finished, I'll see if I can take some pictures of the results!
