You could try the plastic polish that 3M sells at Checkers Auto Parts. There are other plastic polishes that you could also try. The only one that I've personally used with any success was the one from 3M though I've heard the others are worth a look also.

These polishes will also remove fine scratches in the plastic. If my memory serves me correctly 3M also offers a plastic cleaner.

Depending on the severity of the discoloration it may be wasted effort. But at the prices of the polish and its other uses may be worth your time and effort.

Good luck!!

Check out the Healing Hazy Headlamps Guide at CarSpace.

Gel fluoride toothpaste is one of the recommendations. :-)
