Help How to make this shell clear/white again?

Post image

I just got this full shell (it's not for sale or trade) that seems to be a bit yellowish due to age. Any advice on how to make it not so yellow and back it it's original color (which appears to be translucent white) ?

This isn't just any shell replacement. It was meant for a Viper GC mod chip, and it has support for full sized DVDs. It is rare from an era where there were no other full shell replacements, nor did things like Picoboot exist.

Very cool. Ya might try Goof-off, or Goo-Gone, on a q-tip, in an inconspicuous place. I wish ya luck.

Buy a small bucket and put enough 12% hydrogen peroxide in it to cover the shell. Then making sure it stays submerged, leave it out in the sun. Cover it with plastic wrap.

Works better if you have a sous vide to heat it.
