Re: 1st sunny day this year
Well I don't want to start popping the champagne corks yet. I already retr0brighted those keys 3 times. I felt I was never going to get them white again. Even with the low sun and intermittent cloud, I think I wasted my time with the black lights over winter.

Looks fantastic. I think the CLR HOME rear key might need to go 1 more time for perfection.

Hydrogen peroxide and uv light reverses the yellowing. Retr0bright.com
After this spray with some sort of boat cockpit shine spray with uv protection.
This is the brand I use. https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/cr/B00VD1OQ ... geNumber=1 see my review with before and after shots

How do you peel off the labels without destroying them?
Nice sunbathing though

Re: 1st sunny day this year
2 methods. Freeze them off with this spray used by engineers to get down to -45 degrees c. The badge literally falls off. Alternatively take a hairdryer and warm up the badge. And slide the finest precision screwdriver you have under the label and lift. Method 1 works well only on some cases. Method 2 always works.
Afterwards clean the back of the badge with petrol to remove the residue glue. Reattach with double sided sticky tape for fitting carpets.
