    Is there a product that can restore my yellowing Dreamcast?

    My Dreamcast is yellowing. As is my white PS3 controller. Is there anything I can do to restore these to the white they once was. I love in a smoke free home too *shrug

    From what I've read white plastic yellowing is primarily caused by the plastic's original formula and the amount of bromine it contained.

    Plenty of info out there if you Google and it is likely all anyone here will be able to do is point you at one of those articles too:-

      Hydrogen peroxide and ultraviolet light.

        [MENTION=39]importaku[/MENTION] is a bit of an expert in this by all accounts.
        I tried whitening (or de-yellowing) some gamecube controllers about a year ago using hydrogen peroxide and then placing in a sealed clear plastic food bag outside ideally when its sunny for about 8 hours so that it gets UV light reacting with the hydrogen peroxide to whiten.
        It did work but it wasn't a perfect outcome for me as it was it bit streaky. But looked better than the yellow look before
