Default Whitening yellowed plastic

Is there anything that will restore plastic panels (as on washing machines
etc) that have yellowed due to long exposure to the sun?

TIA

John

Is there nothing that'll "bleach" it white again? (I've actually tried
bleach and it doesn't seem to work). Don't fancy painting it.
