So I saw a restoration of some old consoles/controllers on youtube, and I found that they removed yellowing from the plastic cases. I'm sure we've all encountered a figure that's sadly fallen to that effect, either by age or accidently finding them lost on a window still for some time. I found this tutorial on youtube on how to fix yellowing, but I'm curious if anyone has tried to fix it before?

I haven't done it but other people have done it and it works. What are you going to use the hydrogen peroxide on?

I have an animated Jazz that was left on a window still for a long time, so he's half orange. Be cool to restore him, but I'm curious if others have found other ways.

I’d be curious to see this burnt Blurr

My G1 Fort Max is quite yellowed but I’d probably sell him to someone who has patience to restore it

What happens to the stickers, tampographs or rubsigns?
