Is there a way to prevent 'yellowing'?

[Nick_66]

I have a couple of Amiga's which are in very good condition.

Is there a way to prevent further yellowing of my Amiga's?

Search the Forums for "Retrobright". Should cure the yellowing for good and get rid of what you have!

It will get rid of any existing yellowing, but if your Amiga will be exposed to UV light (direct and indirect sunlight), it will return.

This is a good thing though, as retrobrighting it again will be fun. :-)

Makes me wonder, what if you put some of that UV coating like they use on plastic headlights? Sold on Amazon BTW.

Not for good, sadly.

Retrobrighted items yellow again, and much quicker than originally.
There were attempts to protect the plastic with acrylic lacquer that contains a UV filter, but many people reported that doesn't help either.
There are long discussions about this on Amibay.

If you have an A1200, another option is maybe consider a brand new case, these should be available within the next month or so.
