I did this today using the hydrogen peroxide cream in the sunlight. Worked like a charm on my wavebird controller.

I saw a new way on Twitter that uses fumes from the Hydrogen Peroxide. It's supposed to safer for the plastic!

If you don't have UV lights, place it under direct sunlight. It is not as effective but it is bettern than nothing.

The 8 Bit Geek did a test and the best was heating up the peroxide, as its more about the heat than the uv light. I mean it was a drastic difference between uv light and the heating method

Any potential light source comparable to UV lighting that emits similar energy should do the trick since it'll serve as the catalyst. The catalyst is required for a faster reaction time for the free radicals to bind with the hydrogen peroxide, ultimately bleaching the discolouration caused by photo-oxidation. 😃👍
