While it really does work I do worry about the long term damage done to the plastic so I have only used it when experimenting and on very inexpensive items such as baby buggies.

Thank you for this! I have a few cheap playsets that I'd like to work on for starters, these sets are essentially worthless now (with CDN shipping prices, people wouldn't take them for free) and I'm plain tired of them looking so darn ugly. I have someone that may be able to get me some. we will see.
In the long term the bleaching will break down plastic by making it rather brittle. I know this technique works, I have seen it and I have heard of so much success but the damage it just makes me shy away.
If Breyer600 reads this, I'd love to know. Did you use the 50 volume creme? and, how have the whitened playsets help up until now?

Did you use the 50 volume creme? and, how have the whitened playsets help up until now?I did use the 50 volume. I picked mine up at Sally's without them ever asking to see a liscense - I don't know if that's a location thing or if the person at the register just didn't know to check. I had no idea at the time that it could be an issue. Sadly, the playsets I whitened with it have re-yellowed. It could be from storage though and they may hold up better if out on display in more stable conditions.
Golly, I hope no one is throwing away yellowed pieces? They can at least be customized via full painting, right?
