    Default What's the best way to clean SNES carts?

    I've seen lots of posts regarding cleaning NES carts, but I haven't seen any that have to do with SNES carts. Should the same rules apply?

    Basically, I'm wondering what the best ways are to clean this type of stuff:


    1. Permanent Ink on the cart. Like a kid's mom putting his last name on the cart.

    2. Those metallic do not remove stickers, that once removed leave behind part of the metallic crap.

    3. Price tags that when removed leave tons of residue.

    4. Price tags on the actual label, on the cart, that when removed leave tons of residue.


    Also, one other question, if you have a label on a cart, that is starting to peel away in one corner, can you just take a little tiny bit of glue, and put it under that corner and try to get it to go back down?

    Thanks for any help on this stuff.

    I think all of the rules apply. Use Goo Gone for the sticky crap, and to remove stickers. Although i dont know what to really do when the sticker is on the label, I just peel it off very carefully, which almost always works.
    Also if a corner is lifting up a little, you can put a little glue to put it back down. It makes it look better, and i do it occasionally.
