2:55 I was scared for your finger close to the blade 🤣 anyway thanks for the video I cleaned before second hand games that I got but now I will ''deep'' clean them so they look even better
@@andymaverick yeah they came out pretty good not like a brand new game but better than just wiped with wet wipes. Stickers, dirt inside the case, dust under the transparent protection for the cover art all gone. I didn't had alcohol so I used sanitizer as you said and it works.
I'm shocked at how similar your process is to mine. I like to use a smallamount of gt 85 on my cases though. It has ptfe so refreshes the plastic. You can get it cheap I asda or in halfords. You can spend several hours if you have quite a few to do so I wait till I've got about 10 to 15 and do them systematically. Great video tutorial.
Nice to meet a fellow cleaning enthusiast. You have a great tactic with the 10-15 case system. I usually clean like 20-30 cases and it feels like it will never end. Thank you for the kind words and I will try that gt 85 next time.
I don't know if I'll explain this right but you can use tape to get sticker residue off. If you take a piece of clear shipping tape and roll it like you would if you were sticking a picture on the wall or something. Then keep pressing and pulling where the residue is, it'll come off.
Thank you for the kind words. I will add it in part 2, It's hard to choose music what is good and not copyrighted. There were a lots of good ideas from the viewers so I want to try them and I will search for some music.
I have a few cases with the same problem. I tried with heat before but I got mixed and mostly negative results. Still have a few ideas like ironing it without melting anything. I'm planning a second episode for this video so i will include the method if I can figure it out.
Is using a lysol disinfecting wipes on the disk and case a good thing? I always just used this and I never had issues but I was wondering if it would damage the disk or the case itself.
I just checked out lysol wipes. I'm sure it can leave small micro scratches but It's not bad at all. It should be okay if it worked before. You can't avoid micro scratches when you clean discs. Oh and I'm sure that the case will be fine.
I tried tackling these before with little to no luck. I would not recommend messing with them for now. I tried freezing them off before but that left the glue on the artwork.
If its not an original sticker that comes by default it does not matter. It's rare that some stickers add to the value. Some people leave them some take it off. Its up to you and your collection goals. I take them off most of the time.
After months of search, somehow I got a copy of FF7 Remake Integrade for PS5. The case is like-new, but the plastic outside was a bit dirty. Thank you for the video
My problem is that my stupid 2 yo sister put some kind of destroyed sticker on the foil covering it and now the clay is on it and I broke the paper like pic under the foil I hate her! 😭😭😭 I tried everything to keep it clean and this little shit destroyed it! 😢
I'm sorry to hear that, don't be too harsh to your sister she's little. What game did this happend to? Maybe you can replace it if you have no other options😕.
Yeah, first you should try what you said it's a good method but It does not work with every sticker. If it would be this simple we didn't have to talk about it and spend hours cleaning our collections.
That would be a lot of work, you could clean them for over a week. Did you bought most of them second handed? Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed my video.
@@andymaverick PS3 games are like 30% new and 70% second-hand, while PS4 games are the other way around. I have 400 discs in total (not counting PS5 games, as these are all brand new). It took me 2 hrs to clean 10 discs, meaning I'm gonna spend a lot of time doing this
That's a nice collection there! I'm almost the same with mine. As the generations get older I have more and more second hand games in them. I have like 380 total across ps1,2,3,4,5 and xbox,360,one and series. I have few nintendo bits here and there but man, collecting is tireing😅.
You're right, I just wanted show all the methods that I know and use. I heard about lighter fluid used in this application. Thank you for the tips and I will try out the lighter fluid.
