--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Take heed, some day he'll be a lyrical poet... for now let's focus on scrubbing the 27 years of lead battery acid and insect detritus from his yellowing shell - with a little help from Jacques the crab and, ever the looky-loo, Mr. Bubble!
I wanted to called this guy Mr. White Christmas but my son Z was set on Vanilla Ice. He's in the early planning stages and remains as yet unmodified. And here he is all uncovered and bare, getting his clean on before his eventual transmogrification...
Let's kick it!
Wait, am I in a Bathtub?

Oh boy, lots of yellow to get out of those arms and his back-side! I'll try to put up the Retrobright tutorial for you sometime over the weekend...
I still think using liquid rather than gel is the way to go if you have access to large quantities of H2O2 and a decent amount of items to whiten. You don't have to deal with the mess of mixing and multiple applications - just soak in the liquid under UV rays and pull out when white. That's how the guys that came up with the process originally did it - then they created the gel to cut the costs associated with the liquid method. Perhaps I should just fill up my 28 gallon square fish tank and have a whitening party or something. Anybody interested in coming to Lancaster PA for chemical cocktails?
LOL @ chemical cocktails!
You could provide a whitening service
We can mail you parts to be whitened lol
Here's a quick pic of Vanilla on his first car ride to visit mom. At this point he's barely more than a whitened shell with WiFi and flashing lights so his "real" first ride has yet to begin. Either way, looks like he'll need a booster seat to see through the Magnum's windows...

Your robot is really cool. I love the lights in his head.
I have the tape deck and stuff out of mine you can have it if you would like it?
Hey brw_racing, thanks for the offer but I have 3 tape deck units now so I should be good as I only plan to use them in one of the robots. They take up so much valuable real estate!
Way to show me up dude
... Your omnibot is sick!
