Yes, I have Chuck.

Sometimes it doesn't turn out well though...

With my own retr0briting I've found off-white cream cases come up well, but
anything that is grey can easily "bloom" if over exposed.

In my experience deyellowing is only temporary

It does make the cases look good for a while though. (:
