Cleaning white parts safely

[Winger]

My control arms are tarnished quite badly and I plan on cleaning this car soon. I am wondering a safe way to make these suspension parts nice and white again, without compromising the integrity of the material. I know someone will have some excellent ideas.

I have been cleaning up my Monster Beetle and the plastic is very brittle. I want to take extra precautions with this RC10.

Here is a pic of the car, so you can see what I am talking about.

I think most just soak and clean the parts in simple green and then pop them in some peroxide solution in a glass jar and outside into the sun for a day or 2. There's many posts about this and it really does whiten the parts nicely.

yeah, if they aren't badly yellowed, let the white parts soak overnight in some simple green then scrub with a toothbrush, and pipe cleaners(in the hinge pin holes) and they come out very nice. If you want to make them less yellow, follow the peroxide trick.

Awesome! Thanks for responses everyone. Exactly what I was looking for.
