[QUOTE="Joe, post: 121920, member: 440"] I don't honestly think this as simple as comparing it to cleaning up the figure, this is not taking a baby wipe to a figure with some mud on it, discolouration is not caused by a figure being dirty, the plastic has changed due to the elements or age. People who have done this experiment have been honest and said the yellowing comes back and the figures can need more treatments, if it was just a bit of dirt it would be gone for good IMO. Time will tell with regard to what it's actually doing to the figures but even if we were to make a crude comparison with regard to bleaching hair, bleach strips the natural colour of the hair, if you bleach hair too much it can damage it so much it will fall out.. I honestly don't think it takes a degree to work out this is doing something to the plastic that can't be undone. [/QUOTE]
