I picked up a Simpsons today and I thought the yellow on the cabinet was fading but it appears to be smoker related. Any tips to removing it without taking off the paint?

Quoted from Billc479:Mean green
Keep in mind, this removes paint as well. I never use it because of that reason.

That's what I was worried about.
Try la’s totally awesome cleaner from the dollar store. Spray on an inconspicuous area like by one of the back legs. Leave on for 30 seconds. Wipe off. Reapply if necessary, but don’t leave on for more than 30 seconds. If it works well, apply to the rest of the cabinet. This product shouldn’t harm the paint.

Thanks! I'll try it.
I second the awesome cleaner. Just used it on some of the internal if a Pac Man I was working on. Just melts the residue away. All good. Great suggestion.

This stuff works great, just taking a bit of elbow grease to do the rest.

Orange cleaner diluted 50/5o with water, test a small area. Mean grean is good as well, non diluted.
Quoted from Astill:almost any cleaner will make the cabinet plank on this era
I normally spray the solution on a paper towel, rather than spray directly onto the cabinet. No planking so far.
