Need some ideas first?

As many of you know our coolant over flow bottle looks yellow on most of the older cars. What are the options we have to get the bottle white again? I remember seeing somene with a bright white overflow but I think it was because he bought a new one from GM directly. Is there any type of cleaning solvent to get that will bring it back to life? I imagine most of it is on the inside so I don't know what to do because you can't scrub it from the outside.

 

Thoughts?

I've tried everything theres no way to get it perfectly clean. You could buy one from GM I think its only $15-$20. Or you can just buy an aftermarket one.

you best bet is to just buy a new one

Are they seriously only like $15 or $20.00?

I'm buying one if they are, fuck they are so hard to clean, they are pretty much permanently stained..

Thats sounds a little more like GM

 

The question how long does it take before its stained again because Im guessing there is no way to keep that thing clean is there?

Take it out and set it in the sun/ elements for about a week. All of the overflow tanks at u-pull junkyards are bleach white!

I was always told they were less than $20 new.. I never looked into it but several people on cgp claim they got it that cheap. Honestly though I would just get an aftermarket one.
