Cleaning old computer gear- Retrobrite vs pressure wash (especially Commodore 64?)

I have a lot of old Commodore and Atari gear that has yellowed or aged over time.  I've seen a bunch of youtube video about retrobrite (basically a hydrogen peroxide creme).  Some will use baking soda on problem areas but it does remove a thin layer of plastic as a mild abrasive.  I also thought of pressure washing the plastics (electronics removed prior to obviously) but am worried of the same stripping of plastic.  Maybe I will try the INTERIOR of one first. Pros/cons? 

Also, for restoring- I'm nervous of first gen C64 that were the breadbox beige.  Will this process make them look new but NOT like an original color?
