HI!... Just wondering what the best way to whiten up vintage RC-10 white plastic parts is? Seen a ton of different ways, but would like to know what has worked the best for you guys. I don't want to make the parts brittle.

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Neal.

HI!... Thanks for the link. I'm new to the site and the RC-10. I tried the search function and that particular thread never showed up.

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....

So I did a quick soak and scrub on my rear end...

Has anyone any good tips on how to get original white parts clean and white again? Acetone and Bleach don't work! :shock:

Cheers,

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...

:idea: Is there any kind of grading system for the RC10 white parts. Like a 1-10 scale. 1 being the best. If not we should make one

Last post

don't forget the dyed or painted a putrid color category. :lol: :lol:
lightened ones, too. :wink:

Hello All! I have seen many messages about trying to whiten parts but I want input on how to preserve them. I don't know if it is best to leave them in the plastic or boxes or if the plastic leads to yellowing? I figure that sunlight is bad and of...

Sometimes the parts yellow under the best conditions. I've never used Aerospace 303 as UV protection, but it looks very interesting. At my job, there are a few standard practices we use when storing all our plastics. In addition to sunlight, keep...

Really annoyed with myself! Got a CE a recently, stripped it down in work and cleaned the parts with the detergeant i use as a wetting agent for my industrial washer. I have always used this stuff over the past few years as it cleans the parts well...

I think so. Here's an example:

Baby oil is also mineral oil, but it usually has a flowery scent added to it. So if you want your parts to smell good, use baby oil :D .

In any case, mineral oil is clear, so it won't stain, and it won't harm the...

I've just taken delivery of an Ebay purchase consisting of a Cougar 2 and pretty much all the parts for a Cougar 1. :)

The 2 has off-white eccentrics and front uprights. Were these anything special/unusual as I've not seen them before?

Last post

Check the thread. I think he has the same uprights and hubs but not the actual cougar pictured, right?

I think its the same car that Groomi has used as an example :wink:

Can regular rattle can auto or hobby spray paint be used to paint parts like the headlight backs silver? Or do you need water based paints?

I got a set of Jelly bean wheels that came to me painted silver that appears to be painted with rattle can...

I don't know if you've painted them yet, but I wanted to chime in with my 2 cents ...

... firstly, if you are set on painting the wheels, I would recommend soaking them in brake fluid first (which may actually remove the paint), or at least...
