Title: Aged Elina Flyte Tech help
Post by: huw_brynamman on November 16, 2011, 10:44 PM

I have a white Elina Flyte Tech seat that has aged and gone slightly yellow. Is there a way of getting it back to white without losing the gold lettering??? Cheers.

you could try a bathroom cleaner - but any thing that has a bleach in it will take the gold lettering off

bucket of bleach will take it off as well

hot soapy water with a tooth brush to get dirt out - but if the seat is a little creamy in colour, only bleach will get it whiter

cheers  B  ;)

I know someones tried UV light

like leaving on a summer's day window cill

But they actually put it under a sunbed for a long while

and the  results were spot on  :4_17_5:
