Detailing my... computer case.

Hey guys!



Been a while. Hope all is well with everyone else. A few years back, I got a new car (Infiniti G37) which I really don't care for so I haven't been detailing. If I get another BMW, you'll probably be hearing from me again regarding products ;-)



That said, I'm here because I have a ton of product, and a beautiful computer case which I'd like to make more "dust proof" and shinny.



Here is the case: Newegg.com - NZXT TEMPEST EVO Crafted Series TEVO-001BK Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case



It has plastic and metal. The metal is finished with some kind of matte paint, with speckle texture.



I'm assuming the general cleansers (maybe watered down) would suffice (KAIO, Z6, etc.) and that any sealant would also suffice to finish (Zaino, Autopia's old WOWA sealant, etc.). Correct?



Please let me know what you think. I'll obviously be doing this by hand.

Lol, I might just use a waterless wash for wipedowns. Any sealant might make it look more satin than matte.

Well, if he wants to be certain that the finish will remain matte, he can always use this as a cleaner, wax with this product, and then maintain with this QD :tongue:
 
Ya know, back when I commonly attended these forums there was much more obliging such madness. In fact, if I recall, someone polished his iPod and actually got the micro-marring out of it ;-)

I had a case for my iPhone that had a little suede piece on the backing that ended up putting severe marring/etching on the back of it. While I could care less, I've been severely tempted to wet sand and polish it (or just finish it with 1500 grit to give it a sort of hazy "suede" look, not sure how it would turn out looking though). I've been tempted to do the same thing with my laptop, it's a higher performance notebook I spent a bit of money on, however the manufacturer (MSI) used the cheap looking shiny plastic on the cover, so I've been tempted to put either a suede sticker or try getting a nice even matte/haze on the plastic by sanding it. I already used Tar-X to remove the sticker that I removed (which left this metallic crap stuck behind).
