Hi all Does anyone have any tips on how to remove (or reduce) the yellowing that occurs on the white JP Saturn? Sorry if i'm repeating an old thread but i had a look around and couldn't find anything  Many thanks in advance |

Take the casing off the saturn
Place the plastic item in a container of warm, soapy water and allow it to soak for 10 minutes.
2
Use a nylon scouring brush to clean the plastic. Apply steady, even pressure as you clean.
3
Rinse the item under cool running water to remove the debris you loosened.
4
Pour hydrogen peroxide over the plastic and scrub with the brush. Hydrogen peroxide will help to lighten the yellowed areas significantly. You can also allow the item to soak in the peroxide for up to two hours.
5
Create a mixture of 4 tablespoons of bleach and 4 cups of warm water. Soak the plastic in the solution for half an hour. Rinse the item under cool water thoroughly after removing it.
6
Let the plastic air dry. If the plastic is still yellow, repeat soaking processes.
Pulled that from another website dude, but you may not need to go to those extremes, i used the green side of a scourer to clean my snes with some soapy water

How well does it clean the yellowing? Like, does it ALL go away?
If so, I might try it for fun one day.

Well i took the snes apart and just used soapy water and a scourer sponge, and some vanish clothes powder, worked pretty well ^^ those steps are for extreme yellowing, but sometimes it can never get rid of all the yellow

Hey Prab, thanks for the advice  I'll give the soapy water option a go first and see how it goes. If i feel brave enough for the first option i'll give it a go and if the outcome is good i'll post some before and after shots to show the results |

Finally got round to trying I give the soapy water a go first and it didn't make much difference so i tried the second option... dunno if i did it wrong lol It now looks all shiny and white in some places, dull in others and strangely a creamy blue in others...Funky looking  At least i can boast a "custom" Saturn to my collection now ;D |
