No way of knowing if there was any "yellowing" under the gease and grime, but there sure isnt much there now.
I tred oxy clean too but nothing took the grease off better than 409.
Iam in the middle of building a Cliff Lett look a like
And i have read on here diff ways people have tried to whiten parts and i think i may have found a great way to bring back the new look
1 first i clean the parts in a Ultrasonic cleaner with a degeaser and bleach and hydrogen peroxide Mix
2 Then rince and dry
3 My wife thought of this Use Denture cleanser I thought what could it hurt So see went and picked me up some they are like dollar for a hole box of them ANyway i got a bowl of water chaoose a few extra parts i had and did a test run and all i can say is WOW I have some befroe and after pics i will get up later
I have used Polident, smoker's version, it didn't really notice that much of a difference as compared to using something like Simple Green, hot water, and a good scrub.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike. www.gojammedia.com
You know after i finished up it really still has that yellow tent to it.I just don't think there is anyway to get the parts back to white unless its new.Now don't get me wrong these parts look great But i really wanted that brand new look.
I tried a cone shaped brush on my dremel with some polishing compound on a white battery mount and it cleaned up real nice. I cleaned the grime off it first with soap and water and then used the compound.If a stain goes right through a part there aint a durned thing you can do about it.
One thing I never tried so far that could actually give some results is exposing the parts to UV light, I'm pretty sure it could work. Did anyone ever try?

That may be something I will try... Anything is worth a shot. My brother-in-laws car sat in a smokers house for 15+ years. It yellowed the parts pretty bad. I have tried simple green so far and it helped some.

Plastic polishing works, just make sure you go easy on the part and let the polishing compound do it's work.

my thoughts exactly, im sure the yellowing only goes in a small distance has anyone cut an arm or such in half to check? there must be some great product that will effect the outer layer at least

i've used castrol super clean and had decent results getting parts clean, but once that white plastic gets that yellowish stain to it, its pretty much impossible to get WHITE again. i've tried bleach, softscrub, boiling them in bleach... nothing...
I wanted to know if RPM made white 10T front and rear body mounts? Not the #7014 body posts, but the actual mounts for the posts. Either adjustable or non-adjustable. I've never seen them in the ads.
Just received some White J Concepts Rulux wheels but they appear to be more of a pale blue grey colour is this normal. The other wheel is a JCRacing white for comparison

You don't *need to do anything to run the front B4 wheels, although the offset is more inboard than the old 2.0/2.1 wheels. If that bothers you, you can run GT front axles which are wider and correct the offset.
How rare are white RPM parts? I have NIP part# 7054 rear arms, unknown part# front arms and part# 7017 steering enhancement kit all in white.
Would these be period correct for a 6030 graphite? As I have mentioned in other posts I have CC front and...

If you were to decide not to use the 7054 white RPM rear arms I would be interested.
A few people have asked about buying the parts. Something tells me if I got rid of the parts I would regret it later on. Mods, this was not a fishing post I...
