Has anyone tried a base such as lye on their plastics? My thought is that if the yellowing is caused by slow oxidation, the application of a reducing agent might undo some of that oxidation. Of course, it may just remove oxygen (or other negative ions) from other portions of the molecules, but it is worth a try.

Hmmmm. Perhaps an ammonia dip?
