I'm sure this has been discussed before. What's the best way to get your old white plastic parts looking new again or at least better? I was thinking about a 90% water 10% bleach soak. Is this a bad idea? Also will putting the parts in semi boiling...

Thanks for the info on Super Clean. I went looking for some today, didn't find it. So I was going to get some Simple Green instead when I passed by the Soft Scrub products and found this....
Has anyone any good tips on how to get original white parts clean and white again? Acetone and Bleach don't work! :shock:

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.

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...
