After finding this site I decided it was time to do a restore on my graphite car, of course the arms and other white parts have a yellowish tint to them I was wondering what you guys are using to whiten them back up? I thought about using bleach but I'm not sure if the nylon would be okay with that.

I am restoring 3 gold pans and was wondering if anyone has found the best way to restore the white parts? Or is the yellowing of the plastic actually staining the plastic making the yellow tint permanent?

I wonder has anyone tried to whiten old Schuey wheels?

I've got some Bosscat Aerodiscs I want to brighten up.

Put them in a glass jar of 3% peroxide solution, line with foil and put in the sun for a few days?

Last post

Yes, just a big glass jar with peroxide in it. 2-3 days and you should be done. -Jeff

Well, I want to make the most of all this sun in the UK at the moment, and have ordered some 3% Hydrogen Peroxide.

What do you guys use to place your plastic bits in and the solution, for maximum sunlight? I've seen jars used, but would that mean...

I understand this whitening process can be achieved but using a UV light in conjunction with Hydrogen peroxide, instead of relying on mother nature to provide optimal sunlight. I am also aware there are 3 different UV spectrum's UV-A, UV-B and UV-C...

Last post

I wrap the outside of a shallow glass oven dish with tin foil. Peroxide and parts go in, then I leave it outside. One day of sunshine is enough, or three days of cloudy weather. Low cost, and works perfectly. 8)

I have a NOS white set that doesn't match? Can I peroxide these to match?

I know you can't do RPM parts, but I don't recall anyone mentioning HPI, yes or no? :oops:

I have a Kyosho Scorpion Tub that was white but do to sun bleaching has a yellow tint. Does anyone have a method to make it white again? I was thinking bleach, oxiclean or maybe a magic eraser. Any help would be appreciated I don't want to damage...

Last post

Mr. Clean magic erasers are micro-abraiding. Don't do that, it'll end up swirl frosted.
