Eek! My post has gone blue

[Mfresh]

So I have an unusual post from 8 Ball Deluxe which ended up in the ultrasonic cleaner, along with a blue star post.

Long and the short of it is the white plastic now has a blue tinge to it. Anyone got any ideas how to make it white again? I’ve tried bleach but no luck.

Try chucking it back in the ultrasonic with a white star post...?

I use Hydrogen peroxide (3% kind) to regenerate the colour of Lego when it whitens or discolours, not sure if that method would work for your issue.

Yes, this is the method I would try as well. I've used peroxide on my F-14 white beacon and it cleaned it up well. It didn't bring it back to gleaming white, but definitely removed 30 years of cigarette tar colouring. You can use pure peroxide straight out of the bottle of stuff found in hair shampoo. I think the process is called "retrobrite" or retrobriting. A Google search will show you how to get started.
