Nylon Whitening- anyone have a proven process?

Quote

Post by Splat! » Mon Mar 30, 2015 9:44 pm

Hi all,
So I just scored some new, white Junior 2 wheels on the bay for a resto project but they came in the mail today and they are a bit yellowed/dingy. I have heard that you can use Hydrogen Peroxide to whiten them. Anyone have a tried and true process for this? Please describe!!

Thanks in advance!

Hello again, all. I've found good threads on cleaning, whitening, removing paint, etc but am wondering about the steps or phases you guys find yourself building in. Any tips to ensure an organized build?

Last post

I do take note of what needs to be replaced in the cleaning stage.

That's something I haven't consciously considered. In the past, I had examined for what needs to be replaced, then cleaned in the past. Your method is way more efficient since...

Hey all. So my neighbor always sees me messing around with my cars out front and it gave me this old RC10 that he didn't know much about. I'm trying to decide if it makes sense to actually give this thing some love and get it back into good running...

Did you decide against doing the outdrive bearing mod? That no longer requires the felt seals.

You know .. I totally forgot about that. Going back to remind myself now. Thanks

hello All,

I just used pay pal to pay for an ebay auction and I noticed that the payment screens have changed drastically.

. I don't like not being able to leave notes in the payment transaction now.
ER, you can still leave a message but now you have to do it in step 1 I believe. There is a small little message link on the left side below the auction description if I...

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)
