Yellowing Stormtrooper

[AdamDoyceTransue]

Hi all,

I have a Stormtrooper that is turning yellow on parts. What is the best way to get it white again? I prefer not to rebuy.

My helmet started going yellow on the top, after some research I found a thread on Retr0bright, all the ingredients I can source at local store, it works well BUT you have to keep applying over time as the yellowing will come back.

It's either that or have it painted.   That was one advantage of HIPS armor at least (think TE2), as they are painted and you can always just repaint them as needed.

Somewhere I'll have a formula for some homemade stuff. It involves professional hair stylist peroxide, glycerin... (Arabic?) gum. 

  You know I think that I just followed the above link which explains everything I was saying or about to say... 

  I need to keep a copy of that link because I have the ingredients... I just can't figure out where I had the proportions... 

  Thanks!

I've used Retr0bright on a few occasions and has worked well, only issue is the yellowing does come back overtime and you have to reapply, link: https://www.retr0bright.com/make.html
