I have a decent washer bottle for my 72 Imperial restoration. I am wondering if anyone has done anything to the color of the plastic to make it look like new? I think after 50 years, all of the plastic bottles have yellowed considerably. Or, do I just clean it up and go with the aged/yellowed look?
 
If Darth's idea doesn't work, then try to find a new one or just go with what you have.

Yellow plastic from a hot engine usually = fragile and brittle. Mine fell apart.
 
I'd just clean and use as is.

The bottle is going to be fragile so anything you do takes a big chance in ruining the bottle.
 
if it makes you feel any better earlier style reproduction bottles are available in both white and "yellowed" so they look more like an original bottle...

Not sure there is a reproduction for fusie Imperials. I will recheck.
 
not saying there is a repop for yours...just saying a yellow bottle really isnt such a bad thing
