    I want to restore one of my earliest beige plastic sun damaged case mods. Any suggestions on how to do this? Polish of some sort? Repaint in beige paint(they even make that?) I can show pics if needed.

    VInyl Wrap could be funky .. I don't think you can polish out sun damaged plastics as its more a chemical change in the material rather than a "finish" blemish like wood or painted surfaces
    Has it gone milky looking?

    Retr0brite will work magic on your yellow stained plastics, I used it on my old Amiga stuff when Merlin on amibay was dreaming this stuff up/testing, the results are amazing
