Hi,
Quick question to the customizing experts - how can I get rid of these stains at the calves of this vintage Biker Scout? I think that they may be rust stains. Tried rubbing alcohol but was unsuccessful. Any suggestions? Sorry if this post is in the wrong thread...

Haven't tried that yet. What kind of peroxide should I use? All I have is 3%.

Uhh that looks like heat issues, heat destroys plastic and actually creates these spots like that, its a breakdown in the plastic, if it is it will spread.

Read these. If it's due to whitening, sounds like a 33% Hydrogen Peroxide bath in the sun is the key to success. I have tried 3% in the sun with a Kenner Star Wars Princess Leia with no success at whitening.
If it's heat, probably nothing you can do, is my guess. Probably the original and most referenced whitening thread: Transformers Forum: yellowing treatment A couple from Rebelscum (not many photos so you'll have to read through) Threads.Rebelscum.com: Hydrogen Peroxide whitening as we speak... Threads.Rebelscum.com: an actual working cure for yellowing? you judge |
