White Bumpers turn Yellow

[Khryz]

Had my white bumper for about 3 weeks and the corners on the backside of the bumpers are turning yellow.

It's not like I lie it on dirt - only my pocket and when I get home I even rest it on a micro-fiber cloth.

This sucks - now I want a black one but I can't even order them now right?

It's the 4 packs of cigarettes a day that cause that.

Those things are godly.

 

[Marboosh]

Do you brush it twice a day ?
What kind of bumperpaste you're using ?

Tell me about it! One eraser cleaned all the walls in the house too. No need to repaint anytime soon.

 

[Khryz]

Lol.

I'll look into that magic eraser.

 

[truazn]

It's dishwasher safe.

Baking Soda will fix it. The magic eraser sort of works but causes minor abrasion and some of the darker spots won't come off.

I use them on my trucks chrome wheels to remove stubborn brake dust...

Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are one of the greatest inventions EVER.

Boil it in a big pot of water for 3 minutes. Clean, sterile, and better fitting.

You got a picture? Try bleaching it

Pics or it didn't happen. But seriously, it would be nice to see what is happening here.

 

[keviikev]

No yellow on my white bumper. I had it 4 weeks.

 

[FortMOney]

I don't see any pics. Therefore, it didn't happen

 

[james92se]

No yellow on mine either, and I've had it a few weeks now. Mine gets really dirty but I wipe it down every few days with alcohol and it cleans it right up

 

[IrishVixen]

Just a heads up: Neither the Magic Eraser nor the baking soda paste nor the boiling removes black scuff marks from a light colored bumper. Other dirt seems to come off pretty easily though.

Hmm...OxyClean, maybe? Works on all sorts of stuff.

 

[james92se]

Why bother with any of that stuff? Simple rubbing alcohol works just fine...

Probably works fine on regular grime; does nothing on the black scuffs I got from the belt clip I was using. It's a black rubberized plastic of some sort, and it's left marks where it rubbed against the bumper. I've managed to lighten them somewhat, but not remove them completely.

It doesn't work on a lot of stuff.



The baking soda didn't work?!?! I have no idea then, tell me if you find something better! So far it has mostly cleaned the bumper for me (certain corner spots won't go away). I found that if you leave it on for ~15 minutes it works better.

yea they do get pretty dirty, it just sucks having to clean something you use so often as opposed to having a black one where you really don't have to worry about that.
