Whitening discoloured hard plastic - Dream Beauties
« on: August 31, 2012, 02:45:32 AM »
Does anyone have any ideas on whitening severely discoloured hard white plastic? I have a very yellow Sky Splasher Dream Beauty - I assume sunfading will only make it worse rather than better. If there's no reliable way, I'm going to try and steal her mane and tail for my other Sky Splasher, who is white but has a bad mane/tail trim. But other than the discolouration, this one's in good nick, so I'd love to try and get her looking better first!

With hard white plastic I know people have had luck with Peroxide and hair bleaching cream.

Emery had amazing results with a Baby Buggy. Maybe that would be the way to go with your Dream Beauty.

Excellent! I suspected Hydrogen Peroxide would be the ticket, I just wasn't sure about the specifics. I shall procure myself some, take 'before' pictures, and start experimenting forthwith!

This might be a question with an obvious answer, but where does one get hydrogen peroxide for this sort of thing from in the UK?

Sallys and other hair dressing retailers. You may not be able to buy the most powerful stuff without proof of trading but you can get high enough quality for the above tips to work. You usually have to be over 18 and will probably be asked for id as well depending on which retailer you go to :)

Well you've gone up about 300 posts in three days already Hathorcat. :P

Be very careful with the bleach, guys. It may look white NOW but in a few years there is a risk it will yellow out again.

What worries me is can I slow down when we get to the other side - will I be like a wind up toy which cant stop spamming or am I going to collapse on my typing face exhausted and unable to post for weeks...*has visions of other Corral Mods trying to use CPR bring me back to life*

Edit: Please note Party and I have bet one another a bag of G1 combs on this one - so it is truly a fight to the end :)

Cat, I think you can do it. They'll just think we're talking about peroxide in great detail.
