I used like 1600 grit sand paper (wet sand) on them and it worked wonders.

I saw a show where they used tooth paste with good results. I think it was 2 guys garage.

I've been using polish and a buffing wheel on my drill. I works good but the yellowish tinge is still slightly there. Then one day I was in Walmart and saw this stuff. It's in a foil envelope for $18! Says it's guaranteed or your money back. Haven't had the cajones to try it.

Can't remember the name of it. It comes in a silver foil pouch type deal. But $18 seems awful steep. The package mentions some sort of special pad and other various and sundry items, but it's sealed and you can't see just what it is. Another scarey feature.

Brake fluid works really well. Mine were yellow and the brake fluid cleared it right up. It worked better than the expensive 3m stuff my father in law bought. Just work it on with one cloth and clean it off before it dries with another.You may have to do it a couple times but you'll have clear lenses in 10 min.
