Does anyone have a secret recipe that is *safe*
for cleaning
yellowed/stained plastic computer parts that were originally white? I
have had some success with various cleaning agents, but nothing
spectacular. -bill wilmington, delaware
You aren't going to get it back all the way to the original whiteness,
and it depends on if it is more yellowed from "smoking" or age, but
spraying on 409 and letting it soak for a while before wiping it off can
greatly improve the color. It takes several repeats: keep doing it until
the yellow stops running.
