evinX Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 What do people use to clean theirs up to a nice white finish? Mines gone yellowish and mucky with age and would like to see it clean again. I see now and then that some supras have really pure white ones. Whats the best way to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 probably get a good degreaser and a scouring pad should do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickTT Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 There is a guy on youtube that cleans up old computer cases using something called retrobrite, basically a peroxide soloution and uv light. Look for the 8 bit guy. Might be worth a try on the fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is something I have wondered about, do you think it would be that detrimental? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 It’s very hard to have a detrimental affect with the balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Yours looks good Al! Not usually a fan of carbon dipped but might try do that to my fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-love Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Just send it to me and I’ll plastic bead, or sand blast it mate. Sand would probably be better as plastic on plastic can heat up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_bandido Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Yours looks good Al! Not usually a fan of carbon dipped but might try do that to my fan. From memory, that's actual carbon over the top, not a dip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Try brake cleaner on the fan blades or G101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Boil it in bleach maybe. If that doesn't do it, I doubt much will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
