      Interesting video of how to get rid of yellowing on plastics using peroxide and uv light.

        I had a go at this method but with poor results - will try again in the summer when there is hopefully more uv light

                        Yes saw this, will try the retrobrite when the weather is better as you need UV light as part of the process. Impressive results from the pictures .

                          Update, I had a very yellow cap which I used the retrobrite on today as the sun was out,
