How to Clean a Worn Game Case

In this video I will demonstrate how you can restore some sheen to the plastic covers on used game cases, this video is intended for those who would like to brighten up some older game cases that in my case are nostalgic or meaningful. If you’re intention is to just flip or increase the value of a game meant for resale purposes I’d suggest just buying a new cover altogether. The items used for this video are 70% isopropyl alcohol and armor all X-treme tire shine. I would suggest a higher percentage alcohol for this but unfortunately I didn’t have any around. Please be aware that this a DIY project and not everyone will agree with this method. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR TO YOUR GAME OR CASE. Please be careful when do

I came looking for how to clean my game cases, but was distracted by the music, you have good music taste man, any more recommendations

[@retroauragaming]

Hey! Any plan to make the video on how to remove dents from artwork? Great vid btw!

[@retroauragaming]

Might be a while before I actually post any more videos but the best way to get rid of those dents is to use the same method people use to restore cardboard boxes. An iron on low heat, basically you just flat iron the paper but you want to be very careful with it cause it’s easy to damage it. I recommend trying it with a game you don’t care about first. But yeah essentially Im you just iron out the wrinkles and dents.

You are listening to ytpo motorama?

Has the shine ever seeped thru the case??

[@retroauragaming]

Not entirely sure what you mean by that but no I’ve never had issues with the shine getting anywhere I don’t want it. If it does ever get to a part of the case I don’t want it to (under the plastic cover) I clean it up with alcohol and it’s not an issue

[@WhereIsSaul]

Thanks for the reply! I was kinda worried about the product getting on the art work of the game.

[@retroauragaming]

@@WhereIsSaul no problem! Just make sure you’re very thorough about cleaning the product off

See I’m not crazy when I buy games I’m clean it

[@jamielagan855]

I clean the whole Inside booklet

[@tlprodigies2840]

Those cases have to be greasy after using armor all.

[@retroauragaming]

That’s addressed towards the end of the video, you just spray it down with more alcohol and wipie it down with a clean cloth to remove any greasy residue
