Review on Plastic Restoration Solution - Retro-Brite (Sole Bright) - 16oz by Travis Varner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked great on a homemade bathtub!

Purchased to brighten up a yellowed bath or shower at home. Our house was built in 2012 and sold in 2013. In 2015 he came to us. We keep the shower curtain partially closed over the shower/tub, but this front corner is getting extra UV from the window and has started to turn yellowish dirty. Although the hubs didn't notice, it confused me and I looked for a workaround. Putting a "rubber glove" on one hand, I dipped my hand in the Retrobrite bath and applied a thin layer to the area I wanted to lighten. I then wrapped it in saran wrap and set a grow light I had on hand on top of it for 7 hours. The results impressed me. Next week when my husband is at work I will be fixing the front of the shower stall and the inside of the front of the tub where it has also turned yellow. "Plastic" bathtub. This product is a winner. It met my expectations and was worth the price. My shower isn't ready yet, but it already looks cleaner. It just makes me happier looking at it. One day I was making a cheesecake and noticed that my grandmother's old hand mixer I used had turned yellow from the sun from our last house. I thought . Why not? I applied a coat of Retrobrite, wrapped in cling film, placed in a zip lock bag and left outside for 2 hours. It started raining so I brought it inside and kept it under UV light for another 3 hours. The results were amazing! I almost get dizzy when I see these results. I want to find the yellowed plastic so I can try again. Nothing to regret. Oh! and no fumes to speak of, and I'm usually very sensitive to fumes. No problem if I accidentally have some on hand.
