Any suggestions for cleaning yellowed computer parts?

I've had good luck buffing double-shot molded keytops back down to the original color and finish while removing a minimum amount of material. IMHO, this type of yellowing and chalkiness is not at the surface, but it must be from exposure of the plastic to ozone, UV light (flourescents?) or possibly smoke. I use metal polishing compound and a buffing wheel, then finish off with car rubbing compound. This process is tedious, but makes an _enormous_ difference in the appearance of equipment. Note, I mentioned "double shot molded"; obviously, pad printed keys (virtually every cheap keyboard made afrer 1985 is made with pad printing) is just going to come off. You need to look at the key from the bottom in order to determine this for certain. ===== -Steve Loboyko Incredible wisdom actually found in a commerical fortune cookie: "When small men cast long shadows, then it is very late in the day."
