But so much of the information on this post is helpful. I couldn't find if there was a thread more specific to label cleaning. For NES and SNES I'll often use a tiny dab of goo gone on a q-tip to get any grime or sticker residue off - and it also shines up the whole label. My question is if anyone has any tips on N64 label cleaning. Those labels do not have the same strong laminate as the NES and SNES and I have definitely rubbed color off of Mario's nose in the past. So I want to be careful before cleaning some recent pickups. Any tips or advice would be much appreciated! --- End quote --- Bestine/Heptane, period. --- End quote --- OK so I definitely trust Wiggy without question, but can we get a tutorial from you on this please? When I start to get chemical near n64 labels, I get scared.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone mention using something like Di-Electric Grease on cart contacts. Is that doable? Think it would help in the long run? (preventing oxidation, repelling moisture, etc) Might grab some to screw with. Was just wondering if anyone else had any thoughts on it --- End quote --- Apparently, applying this to the cart slots on the Retron 5 help with the death grip it has on carts. https://www.reddit.com/r/retron5/comments/6vyqco/retron_5_survival_guide/

Somewhere on YouTube I have a video that shows bedtime versus isopropyl on an N64 label... Found it https://youtu.be/IGE0Vb8IFuQ
