I recently got a white Kashi. Its yellowed over the years. I have heard that if you place it in sunlight it goes back to a nice bright white. We dont get the sun over here so i have sent my mate over the road to stick it on a sunbed for 12 minutes.

Reckon it will work?

WTF am i doing.

I have no idea if it will work or not but it's gotta be worth a go.

I would say though that on the odd occassion I've used a sunbed it didn;t make my white headphone cable go back to bright white.

Normally when you leave stuff in direct sunlight it 'fades & yellow's', ie it fades dark colours and yellow's lighter ones?

I hope your mate didn;t just put the seat in. hope he got himself a bit of UV exposure too.

munners mate i read what happened to jts white kashi, but heres a tip which worked wonders on my white tuffs, instead of submerging in bleach, simply paint a layer of it on and place that in direct sunlight, leave for a few hours only and then rinse and recoat, time consuming but it really worked a treat, i think the key is the uv rays and air getting into the nylon, hence the u571 treatment doing nothing more than eating the materials away !

munners · « **Reply #21 on:** December 12, 2007, 01:06 PM »

Like the sound of that too.Im gonna try the lot. Its a shame to dye a white kashi black!
