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.

Re: Cleaning white parts safely
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.

Re: Cleaning white parts safely
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.
