Will vinegar discolour plastics?

I want to clean seat guts with vinegar but if i submerse the whole seat within vinegar will it not fade the colour of the plastic ? :pilky:

oldschoolace:
Dont use vinegar use citric acid and make sure the seat is guts down the the tub so the dissolving rust doesn't stain the plastic  :daumenhoch:

A little tub or two from wilkinsons home brew section should be enough or you can buy it on the bay in bulk



I guess this tub aint too little  :LolLolLolLol:

jordanjordan:
thanks for that but its on the rails as well which are inside behind the plastic so the plastic would have to be in aswell ?

Dannywhac:
What Clint's saying is if you have the seat 'gut's upwards' (ie the seats upside down in the citric bath) that the dissolving rust from the rails will settle on the underside of the placcy seat and stain it. If you pop the seat in right way up, then the rusty cack won't settle on the underside of the seat but on the bottom of whatever container you're using  :daumenhoch:

And deffo use citric acid.

Once you've finished your seat take it out and you have a tasty beverage, not many people know but this is how they make Irn Bru
