if you dont want to use a buffer, give it a good hand wash, dry it off, clay it, and then apply wax. paint will be minty when you get done.

nothing you said there will get rid of yellowing.

as for the original question, if its discolored yellow, you might be out of luck. MAYBE some polish might help.

the clay bar took out the yellowing on my rear bumper from my exhaust after my trip cross country... well you could always cut and buff but if you have never done it you might want to pay someone to or just be very careful

well thats from an exhaust, thats not what is commonly thought of when someone is talking about yellowing. especially on white paint, often bumper are slightly yellowed on brand new cars.
