Turning a yellowing seat.....White again?

<< < (5/9) > >>

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
The trouble with white seats is that the sun can damage it - it can turn it yellow in places - if it is only slight then you maybe able to save it ~ the sun penetrates into the plastic and can turn it yellow or fade it into some depth - aqua blasting may shift white mags but i don't think it will work so well (you never know so can try ?)
Coloured seat also fade with sunlight - scraping away deep enough may bring the colour back but getting the shape will not be easy
You can dye a seat as long as it has nylon and you know the make to dye well

bleaching a coloured seat may only take the colour out more - the lighter faded part will only bleach lighter than the other half and the same with dying - the light part may still be lighter after dying - but again you can try - it is a 50/50 try

cheers B  ;)

Seems an expensive way to go for a £6 seat made by Mr Miyagi's missus though  :D
