Tips on de-yellowing headlight lenses?

[Phattiremike]

I have clear head light lenses for the jet rocket headlight, they have yellowed over the years, is there a way to safely get them back to clear presentable condition?

Agree Wes but I need it sparkling clean for a sparkling clean Bowden!

Yeah meguiars. Handy stuff. I think you’ll be pleased with the results, pretty hard to goof it up.

I DID NOT REALIZE THE LENS WERE ON THE BOWDEN!
THEY MAY BE CELLULOID, WHICH IS VERY FRAGILE!
HANDLE WITH CARE!
GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY!

Wes, the lens is for a delta jet rocket head light I want to install on the handle bars,not those lenses on the Bowen.

I gave it a go and it cleaned up well, I’ll re-apply more tomorrow.

Nice, thanks for the before and after, I'll definitely have to pick a bottle up to add to my cleaning & polishing chemicals
