There's another thread about yellowing of billiard balls which prompted me to try cleaning my old set of Aramiths from 1988.
These balls saw very little use for a couple years before they were stored in a box for nearly 25 years.
They are extremely yellow so I used some automotive headlight cleaner in hopes of brightening them up.
I suppose this is what a ball looks like after suffering from outgassing in the box all those years. The other pic is after I hand rubbed it with the cleaner. Not perfectly white, but acceptable for use again.
