Anybody have any tips for brightening up the white plastic parts on our cars? (tail light lens knobs, targa roof holders, washer bottles) I've tried straight bleach to get the yellow out but had no luck. Not sure what to try that won't melt the pieces in the process.

Don't laugh but try soaking the parts in Efferdent,my wife has used it in her antique business for removing stains from glass and other hard surfaces.

just buy new ones

Toothpaste with just a tad of comet or ajax mixed into it...Works like a charm with enough elbow grease.

tweeks has the roof holders cheap. like 4 or 5$

You can try white RIT Dye. I used to have some bare nylon parts what were off white, and dyed them white wirth RIT dye from The drug store. It came out really well.

I did? What a I am.

Not going CW, I like clean parts cuz they sell for more on ebay
I was just giving the targa holders as an example, there's other nylon on the car like the tail light lens nobs and the washer bottle and, uh, I think some other stuff.

Toothpaste works well for cleaning lenses aswell,but I would not add comet or any other powder to the mix.
