    How is it on non-white plastic that's slightly yellowed? I have a Hotspot which looks a little manky and it might be the same sort of thing?

    if anybody is concerned about the peroxide being to harsh or something of that nature, you could try an ordinary bathroom mould spray. I've bleached a few things by accident with this stuff, just saying.

    My concern with the peroxide is that there isn't enough higher concentration of it easily available in Australia

    All plastic of that kind yellows regardless of color. It's just that some of the base color makes it more noticeable than others. For example, yellowing blue tends to look kind of green and so forth.

    You guys still mucking around with this stuff? I moved to using napisan type presoak product years ago. Oxy action creates hydrogen peroxide. This is from the rc community.

    Want to rejuvenate and preserve rubber? Auto trans fluid.

    I tried it about 8 months ago - Poor results. What specific type did you use?
