Vintage Clodbuster yellowing white wheels

[Heavy Duty TLT]

I’m working on multiple projects, kind of simultaneously, but more like when I have time to do something for one of my projects.

One of which is a resto-mod Clodbuster, that I’ll paint like the box art.

I found a set of the vintage white wheels, but they’re yellowing.  Good ole Google and YouTube said to use hydrogen peroxide to get them to whiten again.

Would you believe me that the yellow wheel by itself is the whiter wheel that’s in the second pic with two wheels in the bag?!!

I wonder if Retro-Brite works too on RC plastics?

I have a set of new White clod wheels that have never seen the sun light. They were never a pure white but don't seem to be yellow also.

Yes!  That’s what that product is for, and I believe it has the same active ingredient, hydrogen peroxide.  The process is the same as well, soak it in the sun.  I bought the hair bleach because it’s less than $6 USD on Amazon, and the retro brite is almost $20 USD.  😅
