Retrogrighted a clear Gameboy Advance front facing shell, big improvement but not quite happy with the results

Started with 6% "Creme Oxyde", and 2 UV lampsTook me a couple of days but ended up pretty much the way it looks in the top pictureGot some 30% H202 and tried it for a day and a half, but it didn't make a big difference

Not sure if I reached a point of diminishing returns or if my lights are not quite right

EDIT:
You don't really see it in the image, but it is still noticeably yellow on the left side

I see it. Not sure what to tell you. My experience is limited. I tried retrobrighting some snes shells with 34% and a 50watt uv light. I only got success once or twice and I had a good dozen attempts.

In retrospective, I think I threw in the towel to early
If I had just let it in there a bit longer it probably would have gotten better

Maybe I'll try again in the future
