interesting.  we use non-acetone nail polish remover to clean PCs.  perhaps 
this might work.

Use a clean soft cloth like from an old t-shirt. Put acetone on cloth and 
wipe the lens carefully, do not get carried away as the acetone will dissolve 
the plastic and leave streaks. A little bit at a time works well. I would 
practice on an old lens or the bottom or side first where you can't see it if 
you go to far. It will take the yellowing off. After you take the yellow 
off, you can polish with clear coat compound and wax if you like.

You buy a can of acetone at most hardware stores.
