Default 'refreshing' old white plastics

Hi, i've got a couple of old kyosho's (pro x and pro xrt) that i'd like to clean back up to some sort of tidy condition. Has anyone got any tips for getting a bit of life back into the white plastic parts that have gone off white over time, wishbones,steering assemblies,hubs etc?
Cheers

3% Hydrogen peroxide.

Clean any dirt off the parts then put the parts in a glass container submerged in hydrogen peroxide and leave it out in the sun for a few hours or even days. You will want the parts to be spread out so the sunlight can reach them and turn them over so the UV rays can reach every part.

Do not use normal bleach, it will damage the parts.
