The top half of my Cherokee is white plastic that has yellowed. ( came from a pipe smokers basement ) May just be aged?

I've tried windex, alcohol, bleach, Oxyclean ( poor Billy Mays ) ... I'm guessing it cant be cleaned to white again?

Its not to bad but does show its yellowed compared to the newly covered white monocote wings.

Any other suggestions or just live with it..

Paint it.

If you fnd a way to remove it you may well have stumbled on an idea that'll make you a fortune. You're pretty much stuck with it unless you paint it as Chuck mentioned. If the yellow is from smoke then you'll need to make sure you prime it really well before you put the final paint on it.

Try bleach again, but do it outside on a bright, sunny day and let it sit in the sun for a while.

You could even try several applications.

If it is an old model that has spent time in the sun it is almost certain to be UV damage. May well be brittle.

If it was mine I would scuff with 400 and paint. Check that the paint is compatible first!

I'll try the bleach in the sun and if that doesnt work I will leave it alone as its not that bad and I think paint will be more trouble than its worth..

Thanks

You could try cutting it back with a soft rag and some mild compound.
