Default Yellow/Dark Hubcaps

i have the 04 lx hubcaps on my car. however, they are starting it get pretty ugly. the color of it is now a dark tint of yellow; still silver but like an ugly silver. it doesn't look like before when it was new, bright clean silver. any ideas on how to get them back to the original color without painting them or having to buy new ones? I keep my car pretty clean, clay bar twice a year and all the other junk but damn these hubcaps.

Plastx (plastic cleaner and polish) + Mothers mini power ball + Cordless drill = cleaner hub caps.

mine started turning yellow around the edges this summer, i had these left over from when i de-hazed my headlights and tried it on the hub caps, didnt make them 100% but it removed alot of the dirt with brown/yellow colours included.
