I contemplated wet sanding but I wanted to see what my compound polish would do. It took every bit of yellowing out of the plastic and the longer I worked it, the more the compound broke down to a polish.

In the attached picture, although not great, I'm squatted about 5' away from the tractor. You can see my reflection pretty well.
