Restoring faded and yellowed plastic?


Recommended Posts

I just saw these for sale for a steal on my local Jeep Club FB page, I'm really interested but the condition of the covers suck... Anyone knows of a way or product that could work on restoring them and making them white again? The only trick I know is water sanding and buffing, but I don't want to mess up the logos...Thanks!

It’s not. It’s a technique the vintage gamers and computer guys use to de-yellow their tan or white plastics. Give it a search on the you tubes and quite a few people will pop up with ways to do it. What you need really is warm water, UV light of some sort and some strong isopropyl I think.

Well,gotta love marketplace... I was the first to reply that I wanted them and the seller sold them before I could get there... However, I did stumble upon these; I think they give a similar retro vibe as the Marchals... What do you guys think?

I've seen this and it works really well. Think they use a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide + UV light.

Hard pass. I have some round Eagle Eye lights. Very cheap chinese crap. Would not buy anything from them.
