Found this over on the Allspark. In a nutshell it's a way to remove yellowing and discolorization by soaking the damaged pieces in a solution of high concentration H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide). The pieces are placed in a sealed clear glass contained with the solution and placed in direct sunlight. The results are dramatic. The long term results and potential damage are unknown at this point. I purchased a 27% solution at a local pool supply store. I'm going to experiment on some junk pieces.

G1 Cerebros
The story:
I bought this Cerebros off Ebay for a very good price since the plastic was yellowed and even brown on some parts. He looked BAD, these pics don't do it justice.
Here are the BEFORE pics:
I did the Hydrogen Peroxide 3% treatment in a glass jar. We didn't get much sun around here so I bought a cheap U.V. light and focused it on the jar.
I did 2 treatments keeping the parts in the jar for approximately 24 hours each treatment. I bought my Peroxide at the dollar store for 50 cents a bottle, I used 2 bottles(one for each treatment).
The U.V. light really worked well on it, I can't recommend it enough. You can get a cheap one for around $10-$17 at the pet store. It eats batteries like nothing else though, luckily I had an AC adapter for mine.
AFTER:
All the brown and yellow spots are gone. I can't believe how good it came out.
EXCELLENT RESULTS!!
The plastic was not damaged in any way from doing this for anyone that's wondering(so far).

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

It's been fixed.
I trust you all are thinking of volunteering for News Crew, because otherwise it would be more helpful for you to PM the person who posted the news instead of making snide remarks.
Everyone on Staff volunteers their time and abilities as they can. Help them out where you can in return.
