How To Fix Yellowed Plastic - And Prevent It

[@t2dev]

Will this process also work for yellow and cloudy auto headlights?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

They probably would, but you may need some more abrasive to start out with than a magic eraser. I’ve used very fine grit sandpaper on headlights and then polished out with compound.

303 is the best! It’s the only thing I use in my and on my furniture.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Love that stuff! It’s definitely saved by kayaks from a lot of abuse.

what kind of tool is 303 and what is it used for?

Suggestions on how to remove liquid iron from vinyl siding?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Liquid iron? Like iron staining? I would try iron remover that is sold to get rail dust off cars (you can find it in places that sell car detailing products.)

[@shanew7361]

@DoItYourselfDad Yes, I stained my vinyl siding, spraying my plants with liquid iron.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Got it…. I would definitely try the iron remover used in car detailing.

[@pothos9913]

Great video, thanks for the advice.

[@garywright5556]

Do you think this could be applied to HESS toy trucks? Some collector Hess Trucks yellow with age.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

I know the exact trucks you’re talking about, and I’ve seen the yellow wing. Try looking up the hydrogen peroxide method. I’ve used it on more detailed models with success.

[@Flintytube]

Can you use this on headlights?

[@CheeseBallsNBeanDip]

That was my question, too!

[@DoItYourselfDad]

Yes, you can. I apply the 303 protectant to my headlights every time I wax my car.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

It's essentially a sunscreen to plastic and vinyl. Protects it from UV damage.

So that's your tip? Buy a magic eraser?? Great... What a waste of my time

[@DoItYourselfDad]

A whole 2 minutes and 49 seconds…. Let’s be honest here, your time isn’t worth all that much if you took the time to comment that.

[@Ana_crusis]

@DoItYourselfDad you don't deny that this video is a waste of time i see, and an idiotic video. You pretend you've got some possibly good tips for people and when they click on the video it's just "buy this product" !?

[@DoItYourselfDad]

I do absolutely do disagree that this video is a waste of time. What I find hilarious is that you were so incensed that you wasted a whole two minutes and thirty nine seconds, but now you've spend more time whining on here that it took to watch the video in the first place. That brings me to question what is your time actually worth? What were you hoping for, some voodoo magic spell that would somehow deoxidize plastic? (That isn't a thing BTW). Plastic turns yellow because it oxidizes, you can't "un-oxidize" something, the only actual solution is to remove the oxidized layer without damaging the layer below it. A magic eraser is a mild abrasive that removes the very top layer of plastic without damaging the plastic underneath. I would also venture to guess that a majority of the people that watch this video already have them in their house so they don't have to buy anything. Kindly share with is the technique that doesn't involved needing to use something that may need to be purchased, we'll wait. But keep on complaining, it's entertaining and just helps the channel.

[@Ana_crusis]

@DoItYourselfDad well I don't know what that big long comment was about because I couldn't be bothered to read it but yes I can assure you this video is a complete waste of fucking time. What's funny is you seem to think people can find out which videos are crap before they actually look at them. I'd love to know how we can do that. Now that _would_ be a useful tip. Also you seem to think I looked at all of this video from beginning to end before i realised it was just basically you advertising someone's else's product for them for free (I hope they appreciate it). A mistaken presumption.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

@@Ana_crusis So.... let me get this straight. You didn't watch the whole video, jumped to conclusions and have now spent significantly more time acting like a whiney Karen in my feed than you spent watching my video? Have you wrapped your head around how incredibly dumb you sound? Lol... do you need two hands to put on chapstick?
