sounds like a candidate for a 3m kit if you have a drill, very bad lenses will barely benefit from plastX alone, the first stage of the 3m kit is basically like taking your lights to a grinder untill the yellowing is gone, the rest of the kit is taking that rough lens back to to smooth and clear. the kit only comes with a foil pack of rubbing compund for the final stage. i use plastX with the foam attachment from the 3m kit to maintain the lights every so often

no sealer, the masking is necessary to protect painted surfaces around the lights, especially for the early / aggressive stages
