[QUOTE="OldWrench, post: 172902, member: 232"] Here is something I found for restoring old plastic, below is part of the article It turns out the perfect plastic bleaching solution is a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, glycerin, oxygen based bleach like OxyClean, and xanthum gum to make it sticky. Brush it on and leave it out in the sun or under a UV lamp to accelerate the process and your Commodore will be sporting a show-room fresh shine in no time. The Retr0Bright site has a few recipes and, for those who paid attention in chemistry, a detailed explanation of the chemistry behind the entire process. Retr0Bright [via Make] The only concern I would have would be with the glycerin, just mix a little nitro with it :mischief: I don't really know anything about chemistry but this sounds like an interesting blend. Apparently they use this for restoring old computer plastic . One person mentioned using a mixture of Ammonia and bleach, however that is a very dangerous thing to do because the combination produces Chlorine gas and that can be deadly. [/QUOTE]
