How to remove yellowing from old plastic (retrobright) the BEST method

In this video I will show you how to remove yellowing from old plastic. This process is also called retrobrighting or retr0brighting. You might have old electronic, toys or car parts that have an ugly yellow tint and you which to restore it back to it's former glory. In this video I will show you the way I've found to be the best, most reliable and most concistent. Bellow I have linked what you need to do this yourself.

Anyone who takes the amount of time to share the knowledge like you have deserves a standing ovation. I appreciate your time my friend. Definitely ignore the negative comments but enforce the constructive ones. Hats off to you.

The plastic turned yellow so evenly that I thought it was its original color. Great restoration!👌🎮

Restoring old things to like-new condition is my guilty pleasure. Yellowing, until now, would usually dissuade me from taking on a project, but now, I'm excited to try this method. Much appreciated!

Wow, that's amazing. I never knew the yellowing was reversible. Thanks for the demo.

I came to this video because my overflow for my Porsche was yellow, a replacement is $400! I am really glad you took the time to show and explain how to fix this! Thank you!

Just ignore any negative comments. This is really good unselfish sharing. Thanks.

A WARNING TO ALL, for I am currently in significant discomfort (by significant discomfort, I really mean great pain)! While setting up your tinfoil and the parts to be brightened, wear sunglasses! Everyone knows not to stare directly at UV LEDs/bulbs - what you may not consider is that even if you don't, the tinfoil will actively reflect the rays straight back up into your eyes without the sensation of pain that comes from directly staring at the bulb! It only took about ten minutes of fumbling around with my setup to burn my eyes and I didn't even know it had happened until a couple hours later. Now I have a case of photokeratitis, and let me tell you, it hurts. Bad. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up, because although I took care not to stare at my uv lights, I did not consider how much light would be reflected directly back into my eyes from the tinfoil. Be safe everyone! - Damn, it was hard to right this post half blind. On the bright side, if there is one, my Dreamcast looks as new as the day I bought it... But I discovered I didn't need the UV to achieve this, see in the comments below 👇.

Killer video, clean concise and no annoying music. Just exactly what I am talking about. My friend you are a gold mine of information! Thank you!

I also liked the obvious previous preparation that went into the making of the video showing that the presenter had come up against problems and overcome them and then explained the necessary precautions in the video. What a refreshing change. Of course this new to me process, caused more questions than answers which I researched to find this - - For yellowing, there is a technique called retr0brite that has proven successful, and essentially involves using MORE UV light to break apart the bromine-oxygen bonds. Hydrogen peroxide is then used to get in there and fill the broken bonds with hydrogen, making the bromine more stable and reversing the yellowing

Thank you so much for sharing the process. This is how we advance faster as a society. We learn from each other.

[Reploidservices]

Learned a lot. Perfect explanation and that without background music! a perfect satisfaction. Keep going for it!

I am probably never going to do this, but I really appreciate you sharing your wisdom!

This is, single-handedly, the best video on the subject. Period
