4:58 a.m.
Had a severly discolored VT240, realy unpresentable,
sort of dark sunburned yellow. I fingerpainted on a
paste of the Ajax, made pasty so it wouldn't drip
anywhere it shouldn't and rubbed and waited. Add a
little water if its too dry. Sponge off with a damp
paper towel (again, so that water will not run out).
The first sponging took off what appeared to be paint
really thick plasticy stuff, with a lot of the color
in it. Repeat sponging until no residue (3-4 passes).
Took it down from "gross" to "slightly aged".
I'm not sure what the colours you pasted on at the end looked like, but
this sounds more like Nicotine discolouration from being around a cigarette
smoker.
