Avanti Base Restoration

Okay, I just got around to removing the yellowing on the base. I used the Retr0brite method, thanks to Findm-Keepm. I only left the stuff on for 2 hours as I didn't want the stuff to dry on it and I wasn't sure how long it would take. The UV rays are pretty strong out here.

For only two hours it seems to have done a very good job. It's not perfect as there are a couple of areas that weren't whitened as much, but I think I can live with it and doubt anyone will notice since it on the upright and not the flat area. I might try a Magic Eraser on those spots and see if it helps.

I'm attaching before and after pics.
