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.

As for the door window This is a great addition.

A friend of ours accidently discovered that Windex makes it white again. Who knew?

Careful use of lacquer thinner will bring the white back. But after your going to have to further protect the plastic. Spray paint would be a good start.

Rumor has it a Magic Eraser will bring it back. Can't confirm it though.

I painted mine with a bright white spray paint that is rated for plastics. I bought it at Home Depot (it seems like a lot of new paints are good for plastics). It is a bit of work taping and adding newspapers around the areas that are to be painted but they look brand new again. I did this 2 years ago and they still look great.
