Excellent result!!! Smile

I have a granite keyboard and mouse that could definitely do with this treatment!

8 Bit Guy and RetroManCave are the two YouTubers that I watched their retr0brite videos to get ideas from as well, the 8 Bit Guy comparison video is the reason I decided to go with the developer liquid + water.

I will say if you get the Salon Care developer don't buy it on Amazon or anything, its ~$20 on Amazon for 32oz but from a beauty supply like Sally Beauty its ~$5

Dang, that one is very yellow. When you get around to doing this make sure to keep us posted on the results! Would love to see how those items turn out.
