What josh did works hella well. If you dont have acetone, rubbing alcohal works great too

I hear that silver polish and steel wool get the job done quite nicely.

Polish and alcohol both help, but you have to actually remove the outer layer of plastic to get back to 100%. Josh's method does that.
Laurel also has her own method which is kind of a shortcut:

She basically uses metal cleaner instead of sandpaper, and then fills in all the miniscule imperfections with wax. I don't know if that works as well as sanding and clearcoating.

as vrg3 mentioned.....you really need to remove the outer layer of plastic for this to be truly effective. I had sanded everything and thought it was good. When I applied the acetone, there was still yellow there that was coming off on the paper towel. Once I got all the yellow wiped off and it was just white plastic.....then I started sanding again until surface was to my satisfaction.
Then I painted.

I just used some plastic cleaner on mine, along with some plastic polish. However, the lights weren't all that yellow to begin with, just a little dirty...
