    Niall,
        There is a product that is used on aircraft windshields, but it is for the
    restoration after it has been scratched. Once yellowed, I think that you have
    to replace it with a non yellowing lexan type material. You can get it at Home
    Depot but you might have to buy a large sheet. A model shop might have a
    smaller amount. The yellowing is internal and molecular and cannot be
    reversed.
    Kind regards,
    Mark Pilkington
