STICH666 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Hey guys I just found a cure for the dreaded written-on cartridge and CD. I found products like Goof-Off and Goo-Gone to be too harsh for most plastics so I decided to use a product called Lift-Off. It's like night and day with my Final Fantasy VII discs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectorGamer Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I use Lift-Off to remove old overlays on arcade control panels. Works like a champ :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tz101 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Nice product. Looks similar to results I get with isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Alcohol works very well with some carts and labels, but others like Imagic carts are very difficult to do without the chrome and printing coming off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tz101 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Alcohol works very well with some carts and labels, but others like Imagic carts are very difficult to do without the chrome and printing coming off. When I clean PSX, Dreamcast, Xbox, Gamecube, or PS2 game discs, this is not a concern. Same generally goes for the plastic casing of NES, SNES, Genesis, and N64 cartridges. Some N64 labels are easily damaged by alcohol though. 2600, 5200, 7800, Colecovision, and Intellivision cartridges are hit and miss. Normally, if they have a gloss finish, they are safe for alcohol. If not, then Windex used sparingly will most often not take off the original printer's ink. I have never had Goo-Gone damage any of the labels I have used it on, even Imagic or Activision titles.

STICH666 Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Techspray 1613-6S Well yeah that's for labels and such but it won't remove marker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperman Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) OMG thanks. Sometimes I like marks/stickers/etc, but for those times I don't, I haven't had a good solution. Does it get marker off of cart labels without pulling the ink off? Edited August 14, 2011 by Reaperman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STICH666 Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Yeah it's safe with the artwork just don't scrub too hard just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) Be careful. Some CDi discs use an overprint paint which will come off with Goo Gone and presumably other cleaners, leaving only the "regular" CD labeling behind. I should finish "cleaning" that CDi zelda link game disc with isopropyl so that it becomes a "rare label variation", ha ha. (I was trying to get some sticker goo off of it.) Maybe when I find another one, Edited August 18, 2011 by Bruce Tomlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
