Retro-Brite (Sole Brite) Gel Formula : Restores Yellowed Plastic (16oz)

This worked very well for restoring the yellowing on my Stormtrooper armor. I applied it with a rag and left the armor on a partly cloudy day for about 6 hours. I did not use a clear bag, but I did reapply the product several times, about every 2 hours. The results were impressive and noticeably improved the color.

This stuff really worked! I used it on all of the yellowing plastic in my 2002 truck camper and it made everything look new again

I was skeptical, but one of the reviews showing before and after pictures convinced me to give this a try. I did use the direct sunlight method. I applied and used a UV light indoors for a minimum of 4 hours each time I treated an area. As one person said in their review, it can come out in globs but I noticed this when giving a light/small squeeze of the trigger, but it did "spray" with a quick and full pull of the trigger. The first application I sprayed on a paper towel and applied, but the initial results were disappointing. Subsequent applications were direct and using short pulls of the trigger to release the small globs of the product. I then "dabbed" the product with a paper towel all over the yellowed area. I covered the treated area with one layer plastic wrap and placed the UV light pretty close to the monitor and let it sit for at least 4 hours. I did have to do a couple of areas twice to get all the yellow out, but it looks much better than it did when I started. I also used it on the keyboard, but those photos did not show as much change but on one side. Not sure if it matters, but the plastic wrap I used was up&up brand, and the UV light I used is this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D8FPX84C?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1_0&th=1. Photos were taken step-by-step to show the changes with each treatment and what the product looked like before applying the plastic wrap.

Heat is the key factor here. You can use a dehydrator, boiling water, or a standard heat lamp in the event the sun or UV are not an option for you. You have to be very diligent in making sure the goop gets mixed into all parts of whatever it is you're trying to to restore. This takes time, and a lot of it. Be prepared to babysit your project for at least a few hours, mixing the product around every 15 - 20 minutes. Be sure to wash all of the goop off after you're finished. Letting it sit for even a few minutes can cause severe splotches and streaking. The biggest downside to this bottle is that there really isn't a lot of it in there, concidering how much of it you have to use to get a good result.

'Sure didn't work for me. Started out with such high hopes. 'Tried to remove yellowing on RV ceiling interior vent trim. Followed instructions, applied product, covered with clear plastic, sat out in sun.....Nothing....Repeated next day......Nothing. I mean absolutely nothing. Picked up some white plastic paint at hardware store. 2 coats. 5 minutes, looks like new.... I wasted $19.99 and two days on this stuff.

This product is amazing. I used on a very yellowed Rival toaster from the 1970's. I didn't want to get rid of the toaster because it worked great but was embarrassing to use around company because of the discoloration. I used a foam brush to apply the retro brite, covered areas with Saran wrap and sat in the direct sunlight. The toaster is now perfectly white. It looks beautiful. I am so pleased with the results

This product did work somewhat, but didn't fully restore the color of the plastic piece I was working with.

It works but don’t expect it will turn the old yellow plastic back to white. Mostly like oats/off white.

Le processus a pris plus de temps que prévu. J’ai fait environ 5 séances de 6h, mais je suis très satisfait du résultat. Des puissantes lampes UV sont nécessaire si l’objet ne peut être mit au soleil.

Worked a treat

My white plastic bath had yellowed where the hot tap had leaked unnoticed for a few days. Conventional bathroom cleaners would not remove the yellow stain. Retro-Brite restored the white finish and ment a costly replacement of the bath was not needed.

Not gel at all, runny liquid, not effect seen after usage Package received damaged and leaking

Works well as advertised. White's my yellow plastic parts.
