I heard that once they go black there's no going back.

There are loads of guides on the internet. It is mixing hydrogen peroxide with corn flour to make a paste iirc.

80s and 90s plastic had bromide in it, which is a flame retardant.
This tends to react with UV an turn yellow. Try not to leave any SNES carts on a windowsill!

Not heard of a PS1 turning yellow though!

I'm guessing you could also try re-spraying it. Quite a bit of hassle though I imagine. Unless you fancy some nice custom colour of course

just happened to read this in an amiga group just now

hi just incase anyone is thinking tentatively about whitening amiga equipment ...i gave it a go today ...used bblonde 12% peroxide hair blonde stuff from boots ..(bout 1.65 ish ) 3 hours in great sun 1 hr in overcast took out marker pen and minor marks , also soaped and rinsed the keys and cleaned the whole top half and the trapdoor unit ..( not confident bout stripping completely to do base ) results are awesome its like i unboxed it brand new today ...so proud , couldnt believe how simple/available the product was

thought it might be of some use.
