[QUOTE="SublevelStudios, post: 453420, member: 5051"] Yes, peroxide treatments are a 'quick fix' - there is long time damage to the plastics so you actually end up speeding the process of degeneration up instead of halting it. There are plenty of people who support this method but it's not one I recommend. Imagine buying a lovely white crisp Stormtrooper and paying a premium because of it's condition, only to find out it's been treated with chemicals to enhance it's appearance - as bad as repros IMO. Restoring toys using original parts and good clean ups is great fun, but if you are looking for mint or unyellowed examples, there are plenty out there. [/QUOTE]
