yellowing plastic trim
The plastic trim around the door window, awning motors, and stove vent cover have yellowed over time. Is there a way to bleach these back to white or do I just paint them.

Check out this thread I posted a year ago about the same problem. Be prepared for a few naysayers who have not tried it to tell you that it won't work or is bad because its bleaching the plastic (its not)...blah blah blah. My plastic still looks brand new.

It IS "bleaching" as in whitening a surface and the surfaces I frequently use hydrogen peroxide on are natural textiles.
That didn't take long....heres an article, one of many, that explains the chemical process taking place. This one is fairly basic but does a good job of explaining it. This is a chemical stabilization process (bromine stabilization).http://www.mountainouswords.com/mountain-air/retr0bright-restoration-project/
I just agreed with you:h
