That looks great, I'd like to do the same thing for the back cases of my B&W sets in my free time. Where can I find the method to make retr0brite?

Been away for awhile. Just thought I'd give an update.

Seems this treatment is just a temporary fix. It wasn't long before it started yellowing again. I did more research and found that it is not an isolated case. Seems the yellowing is not merely a byproduct of UV only. Some tests were done and found that even in the absence of light and UV rays, the restored pieces would yellow again. Faster if you expose them to light.

I've decided to let it be. It's sitting on green carpet and isn't as noticeable as it once was. I don't want to paint it, so it will just have to be and show its age.
