theres a couple of ways depending on how yellow they are.

1. try mother's clear plastic polish, its a two part system. one is cleaning the other one is polishing. You can get it from any auto paint store.

2. try some fine wet sanding and maybe clear coat it.

I'd just sand them down with 2000 grit and then get some rubbing compound and buff the shine back. But that's just me.

I'd try the nail polish remover first. It can't hurt.
