Acrylic Case Cleaning, Anything Available From Kustom?.

[jon bda]

Hey all, after Shelleys PC blew its modular PSU a while ago i've finally got around to picking up another one secondhand. I'm planning on stripping the whole PC out and giving it a damn good clean when i fit the replacement. Does anyone know of any polish that will clean these cases?, Slam mentioned some a while ago to me but that was supplied with one of his cases...does anyone know of any?, do Kustom supply it?.

Cleaning Acrylic. Acrylic should be cleaned with clean, lukewarm water and a clean, nonabrasive, noncontaminating cloth. If desired, a mild, nonabrasive detergent may also be used. Use only light pressure when cleaning. If the surface is exceptionally dirty or gritty, "rinse" the surface first by lightly swabbing a saturated cloth over the surface and allowing surfactants to drain away. Avoid rubbing dirt or grit into the surface. Turn the cloth often and replace with a clean cloth frequently. Dry by blotting gently with a clean, dry cloth.

DO NOT USE ketones, aromatics, esters, halogens, window cleaning sprays, alcohol, kitchen scouring compounds, or solvents (such as acetone, benzene, gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, or thinners). Do not use ammonia based cleaning solutions on the acrylic as it will eat into the sheet and cause it to craze.

How do you get scratches out of Acrylic? For light scratches, use a buffing compound such as car wax, using the buffer provided lightly buff the sheet until scratches disappear.


Nice PC too!

Thanks mate, as daft as it sounds i never thought of Google! :D. As for the PC, it was originally built a few years ago so its a little low tech by todays standards...i feel a bit of an update coming on, although it'll be with secondhand bits based around a Lanparty Nforce4 board. Need a new TFT as well, something like a Formac with the clear surround...
