Incomplete UV coverage is common.

Rotate parts during treatment.

Avoid excessive peroxide pooling.

❓ Plastic Feels Brittle After Treatment?

Peroxide can dry out plastic over time.

Apply a light plastic polish afterward to restore surface oils.

❓ Yellowing Returns Quickly?

That suggests continual UV or heat exposure.

Relocate device and use preventive steps above.

Material Matters: Not All Plastics Whiten the Same
Best Candidates

ABS: Responds well to peroxide

PS (Polystyrene): Light discoloration can often be lifted

Tricky Materials

PVC: Can be unpredictable

Acrylic: Scratches easily; peroxide may damage

Polycarbonate: Yellowing resistant but may not bleach evenly

Always identify your plastic type if possible — manufacturers sometimes label it inside battery compartments.
