How to Deal with Yellowing Plastic Screens on Electric Cars?
2 Answers
Pour an appropriate amount of cleaning powder on the surface, scrub with a damp cloth, then rinse with clean water to remove any traces of the cleaning powder. Squeeze toothpaste onto a toothbrush that is no longer used for brushing teeth, then carefully scrub the plastic item with the toothbrush, as toothpaste contains abrasives. Use cotton to apply an appropriate amount of alcohol for wiping, then polish the surface of the plastic item with a flannel cloth dipped in toothpaste. After wiping with alcohol, rinse thoroughly with clean water. Dilute the specialized bleach, soak the plastic item for a period of time, and finally rinse it with clean water. Take a small amount of tea leaves, wrap them in gauze, then dip in an appropriate amount of cooking oil to wipe. Finally, rinse with a small amount of dishwashing liquid to clean thoroughly.
The plastic screen of my electric car has turned yellow, which is quite common mainly due to sun exposure and oxidation. I've handled it myself by first gently wiping off the dust with a soft cloth dampened with water. If the yellowing is severe, I apply toothpaste or a dedicated car yellowing removal paste to the screen, lightly scrub it with an old toothbrush a few times, and then wipe it clean with a damp cloth. The results are good, and the screen looks much brighter. Prevention is also important—park in the shade or use a sunshade to reduce UV exposure; you can also apply a UV protective film for a long-term solution. Regular inspection and cleaning prevent dirt buildup from worsening the yellowing. If DIY doesn’t work, you can spend a little money at a shop for polishing—it’s simple and hassle-free. Remember to avoid strong solvents like alcohol to prevent plastic corrosion. Small-cost maintenance can make your car look brand new again.
