This is very interesting. This is a formula someone has found which chemically removes the oxidization from plastic. It does not put a coat on it, or alter the plastic fundamentally, it just reverts the chemistry back to how it was before all that oxygen yellowed or browned the plastic.
It isn't being sold, it can be made yourself using the listed ingredients. The results this shows are very impressive. I wish to make some of this myself for a few things I own, most notably my SNES. The top half is yellowed, the bottom half is not. Apparently the batches of plastic originally used came from two different factories for each "half".
