Brasso Gadget Care Review

Brasso (Retro) Gadget Care



Brasso is a company that has been around for ages, it only had two products Brasso polish in a can and Brasso polish in a tin.

Then someone at Brasso realised that no one bought silver anymore as they were too busy spending their cash on the latest Ipod or a ps3 or something.

All of which attracted dust and greasy finger prints like mad, so some clever person at brasso invented Brasso gadget care so you can polish up your expensive gadget good.

Which is great as that means you can now give your dirt encrusted smegadrive the clean it deserves, or your stained Saturn a nice polish.

The little bottle of gadget care comes with a soft cloth, first off it's not a cleaning product in it's self, so it wont remove stuff like cat wee stains or all the annoying dust from inbetween groves,

Best get a toothbrush for them, preferably someone else's, dont forget to put it back after cleaning out those crevices.

Then blob on a couple of drops of the polish, and give your console a good rub.

I've tried it on a megadrive with mega cd, it is supposed to add a layer of silicon to repel dust, it seems to give the Megadrive a deeper looking black, and a certain sheen to it, the shiny bits of the Megadrive look a but more reflective, and after a couple of weeks it wasn't completely dusty.

Before? After? You decide.



Next up Saturn ! lots of shiny black on this, again it works nicely on the black, even the matt black, and indeed the dust does not seem to gravitating towards it as much as usual.

Not retro enough? Let's try this Hitachi boom box! Hmmm the gun metal benefits only a little from the polish, but the shiny bits are improved. Anyway I only have one audio tape left these days and it by a band called Dengar, so I might be polishing this more than using it.



So overall it does help, mostly on black, so lucky there are a lot of black consoles then, but don't expect miracles if you have a console frotted up beyond belief.
