All the Nivea addvertisments are true. It really makes you look younger !
instablaster.
Are you a laptop?
@@7ussein02 technically we're not. we dont sit on somebody's lap 😂
It is really good for your skin!!
@@User-kn7ymI do.
That music. I felt like a miracle was gonna happen.
And one did happen 🙏
The music IS the miracle.
The magic eraser worked great on a x230 I restored. Instead of Nivea, I used Meguiars Ultimate Black plastic restorer for auto trim. I did a nice job
I was frustrated when I got Thinkpad T495 today from the organization! It was a used laptop and hence the condition was just the same as shown in this video. I am glad that I found your video, could have never imagined something like this. Thanks for making my day
Dude, this is insane. I had some shallow but nasty looking white scratch on one of my studio monitors with black mate finish (I did it accidently while moving), tried everything, it just stayed there. I watched your video thinking "there's just no freaking way it works" but what the hell, let's try it. IT'S GONE. Completely. I can't tell now where exactly it was. I did all the surface to freshen it up, and both monitors look like brand new. Thank you.
6 months trying to buy this part and solved the Issue 15 min after seeing this vídeo…. Thanks
Just tried this on a T580 and a T540p - They look like NEW! Amazing transformation!
This tip never gets old.
Never knew basic cream could be used that way. What a great video!
i did the cream and it works well, but only use a little bit, like half of what you see here. i feel like even after minutes of buffing and drying and buffing,my cover still feels ..... emollient. i can still leave a finger print behind
@@RAnderwill may i know what other types or brands of basic cream?
@@TheEtherealNebulous i still use this nivea cream, but much less than pictured here. you want something with the microcrystalline wax in it. the silver and blue tin will not work since it is water based, and this is wax based.
i now use an alchohol wipe after the cream application . its amazing how much grime comes off with the cream and alchohol
Never thought I will see a Thinkpad getting bathed and moisturized. Fresh like a daisy!
You ****MUST**** Put a cloth or a A4 paper between the Screen and the Keyboard first before doing anything. Otherwise, you will get a good cover but bad screen. Cheers
Thanks for the advice!
@Raymond The keyboard would leave marks on the screen while you're applying pressure on the lid.
@@milhamhanifan1747 How do I remove key stains from the screen?
It's ironic because I have a can of nivea sitting in my dresser for six months because the damn cream won't absorb into my skin and I look like a ghost, but i recently got a t-series thinkpad that now has a few light marrs on it, not enough to warrant a polish but enough to use the cream to make them go again. I'm going to try it now, i'm sure it's going to work wonderfully. I never noticed that the thinkpads had specs in the surface until i was carrying mine outta the office at night and saw silver specs in it bouncing off the light. awesome video.
i can now confirm after trying this technique. it made my thinkpad look brand new. killer video brother, thanks so much, you saved my ocd.
I just did this on my t61 and it worked amazingly!
Just a suggestion, you still have cream in the cracks where it says "Lenovo" perhaps a toothpick can get rid of that
Yes that works too, it will dry and crumble away after some hours and you can blow it away.
Yeah, a soft used toothbrush can work too. Nice video!
Thank you. I have two scratched thinkpads - R61 and X240. Will try it on both :)
Thanks for the tip. My T60 now looks brand new.
No problem 👍
Really fantastic! thanks for sharing some good tricks. Let me share one with you, put a cloth under the laptop so it won't move around when you polish it.
I have 4 Thinkpads - X61, T61p, X230 Tablet, W540. Will definitely be giving this a go.
the soundtrack choice is hilarious
Wowser!!! SUPER impressive, indeed!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Tried it, works amazingly! Such an awesome and useful video - thanks a million! ;)
Thanks man, appreciate the feedback!

This Lenovo polish looks very nice.
Never ever heard the music this far
Apply car wax over the surface after it will give it a nice smooth surface no sticky left.
What a magnificent video! Thanks so much!
now THIS is the true business experience 👌
Wowa. That looks awesome! I'm going to give that a go.
This is weirdly amazing
I suggest you do these videos indoors to avoid bird droppings while filming.
Amazing!! Thank you so much. Works a treat.
Mutual love for best laptops ever.
You really love this notebook 😻
Just WOW, I'm in love with my T430.
Your music mad me think of HAL from 2001 . Thanks for the tip .
As soon as my T420 shows up i will try this method
Works great
Great video!
What a brilliant video. It's a shame that I found it today.
It works on may e450. I used wet sanding
You are amazing! Thanks alot!
Will try and let ya know hopefully will be amazing
It looks much better. Thanks
Exactly what i need, Thanks so much !
Pretty cool. Saw another guy using plasti dip. Guess you could do that if your case is totally destroyed. This is great to know as I'm "balling on a budget" looking for a work computer to replace my old t420.
Great vid
I have no words
Good job nivea :D
Just a suggestion, use your right hand if you are a righty and vice versa. You're welcome.
i use cif on a sponge for thinkpads! get all the marks off ;)
Cif is a bit abrasive so why not !
everybody gangsta till he busts out the Nivea
well done. thank you.
Great video I ve used it with my skullcandy crusher
Good to hear that it works with other plastics as well.
amazing! thanks
Very nice. I have the same model ThinkPad
A miracle.
Quick question: The “Wet Polish” did you just use water or something else? I would like to know so i can start fixing the scratches on my laptop.
Nice video btw really needed this!!
That is just plain water
Wow, Thanks!
Got myself a few free Lenovo laptops for refurbishing, going to try to clean them up with these methods. What's the "cream" you used? And what does it do exactly?
Thanks for the video!
It is Nivea classic. If you have faded grey plastics or rubber it will restore the black color. This might be more necessary on even older laptops.
@@panoramacircle3281 alright thanks!
@@panoramacircle3281 Is it a skin cream in a blue container?
Thanku it recoverd
Now it smells like my grandma!
Will the magic eraser from the $1 store work this well or is the brand name?
Should work all the same, I did use some generic brand.
it's really works
Thanks a lot. It did work 💓
What did you use for sponge?
where to buy or order the magic eraser?
I got mine from Ebay
Did this on my X61 and posted results on reddit
didn't do the nivea cream afterward, but might if it starts to pick up fingerprints
Great video... Although I would love to know how do you do that in the bottom case and the screen bezel on the inside without effing up the screen.
Cheers#
It needs to put the lotion on the cover!
and lots of rubbing
Me trying to find away to clean my matte airpod case because all the search results are the plastic ones:
👁👄👁
Thanks dude :)
WOW!!!!!!
Hi. Is this also can apply to scratched matte plastic part on shoes? The scratch seems a bit gloss whilst the surface is matte
Nice choice of music.
I would maybe think about using some kind of paste wax (furniture or automotive polish), but would never have thought to use Nivea cream. How did you come up with the idea? I wonder how long does the laptop keep smelling nice?
My W530 and X230 lids are not too dirty but not perfect, I feel rather tempted to try out your method (I even have all the stuff on hand), on the other hand maybe it seems less attractive to thieves if the laptop looks old and scratched?
The idea comes from restoring automotive parts... people use peanut butter (no joke) to darken faded car plastic. There are some funny vids on RUclips about that
@@panoramacircle3281 Heh weird tricks in every hobby... Maybe one day this will come in handy
Nivea creme moisturizing cream, very good way. Must I use this brand of moisturizer?
No, but it should be as s simple as possible.There are also commercial products for the car industry to darken plastic.
if you'd go with fine grind paper you could also remove scratches on the LOGO 5:25
incredable
for Celestia's sake, please get rid of that EnergyStar decal.
@baroque I sexually identify myself as a purist.
I only saw scruff marks no scratches
help what to do if my x230 got scratches so deep the metal layer is visible?
i just bought class A refurbished x230 for 300$ and under stiicker it had scratches to metal
what if you are able to see the brown layer under the black layer? what should you do for that?
It seems the black coating is gone completely? Depends a bit on the model, you can still do the same process shown in this video and if nothing helps buy a new/used top lid.
Plasti dip
Are you sure that plasti dip anything won´t make it look ugly as sin?
@@TheRealFobicanIt's a guaranteed failure if you do it poorly!
very amazing, what kind of liquid you use for wet polish (step 2) ?
Hello, it is just plain water
he used Abrasive paste for car polishing, but he also removed the layer of color in the thinkpad logo, i mean the red dot.
Do you need the Magic eraser or can you use just a regular sponge with a little bit of sanding compound?
I tried only ME but fine sandpaper works probably as well.
Awesome video. Question: I have X1 Carbon's Gen 5 and up. Is it safe to try it on those? Since the surface is really soft kinda rubbery. If so, only the top covers or can I do the area around the keyboard & the trackpad as well?
it's gonna clean the surface nicely, but don't expect miracles in terms of removing scratches. Laptop in the video doesn't have any real scratches on it.
How can you be so sure that the water won't damage any components 😮❓
Well ThinkPads have a water drainage system but just don't spill it on the keyboard :)
gonna try this on an x200 but it already has full of deep scratches so doubt it will be as smooth as this
How does it look?
I just tried it. It didn’t remove the clouding. Should I press harder ? I used the original mr clean eraser, is the generic better?
It is a generic brand but you should try to use water polish as well and more rotations.
Panorama as a circle Thanks. I used water and did 2 rotations, unfortunately it didn’t remove the clouding. The cream helped a bit though. I don’t know if the clouding is too deep or it’s some kind of burning... That’s the way I received it.
@@Emilioh888 rip
DON'T DO IT WITH DELL!
LOL
What products are you using. It looks like Nivea Cream?
Would this be ok to do on a x1 carbon with lots of little blemishes. Basically loads of little dots as deep as a scratch
Yes but only shallow dots can be removed fully.
while you are showing before and after comparison
in first thinkpad 'i' is written with red dot and in second laptop i is written in silver dot??
I believe that is just camera lighting, there is no difference in real life.
How to remove light scratches from dell g3
Have you ever done the keyboard surface part?
What is exactly wet polish? do you mean the same polish I could use in my car? I ask because maybe where I live can be a different thing, so I want to try your method
Wet polish = water. Look at the the video and do the same.
Hi. Can i use this method for my lenovo y50-70 palmrest as well?
Used this on my alienware x51 plastic
And it did work well?
Hi can you pls send the link for the product ?
and the inside?
Does it work for any Thinkpad? Even the L470? Looks like all Thinkpad have same material.
It should work even on newer Thinkpads and some people reported success on newer models as well
Would this work on a shiny trackpad, and if so would you be putting the Nivea on the trackpad?
Most likely not because this helps for old faded plastic, not worn off trackpads. The T430 have stickers on the trackpad that you can replace unless you have a more modern laptop.
can i use a sponge instead of the magic eraser? im gonna use a sponge anyway because i dont have the magic eraser foam. hope it doesnt ruin things up...
Well did it work?
I'm having an issue where there still is some brighter spots, even after wet polishing. Is there anything I can do about these? I have a t530
You might try some plastic refresher/darkener from the automotive industry but no guarantee
