So I was looking at this old yellowing plastic and it struck me. How about some
whitening toothpaste? I would think it would be perfect for the job, maybe even
help preserve the plastic...? Anyone tried this already?

OTOH, I have some athletic shoe cleaning gel in a brush/bottle that did a
pretty good job itself. I did the top half of my CoCo3P case with it and it's
noticeably whiter than the bottom half now, maybe not quite as white as new. It
was the least yellowed 3 case I had, except the really white one I have boxed
up... didn't want to hack that case.

Now my curiosity's piqued though, I'll have get some of that toothpaste and
test it on some severely yellowed equipment.

Bob
