Nice. I have to make some retrobrite to try it on some of my machines.

Submerge the plastic in clear peroxide (40 vol. developer), and put it out in the sun. It works better and doesn't require you mix a bunch of crap and mess with paste.

 

There's a pic floating around of a 128D done this way, and some other stuff.

You only need hydrogen peroxide cream, forget adding taed or oxy, it does not aid the process. Check out the sticky in the Atari 8bit forum for more into

I go with the clear, not the cream, and fully submerge the plastic.

 

It ensures that you get even results. I've seen the cream produce streaks/two toned results due to poor-spreading-abilities.
