Got a DSD from mark (wolf) and although nice and unshabby I had to try to whiten it a bit (cos I can't leave stuff alone lol) didn't want to use bleach so I tried vanish oxy action!! One scoop mixed  in approx 1 litre of warm water! Dropped suit in and gave it a mix for couple of minutes and then left for about an hour and a half (mixed it a few times in between) then gave a stir and a few squeezes then rinsed and hung to dry! Unfortunatly I didn't take any decent before pics!! Doh!! Weve all seen discoloured ones though! This is how mine looked after.... whites white again IMG_20150212_183550_zpslpstdjnd
I'm sure other vam whites would have the same outcome too! Hope this helps someone Smile

By the way I accept no responsibility for anyones vam gear getting ruined if for any reason it all goes pear shaped! Lol
Seriously though its always best to try it on something a bit naff first in case as with most things tried first time!

Well done and thanks for taking the time out to post, does this stuff only work on white clothing or have others tried it on other action man uniforms?

I cannot vouch for how good it is on coloured clothes, on those I have used Vanish gold to good effect.

I had a DAK tunic with red felt tip stains (simulated blood I think), the Vanish brought it out 95%, not perfect but turned scrap into usable.
