Default White interior "yellowing"

I have a 66 convertible with blue/white interior. It appears to be all original with expected wear. The sun visors and rear deck trim are too far gone to be saved but the door panels are in fair condition except the yellowish tint they've started to show. Is there anyway to get the bright white appearance back?

Somewhat related curiosity...........Is there any possible way or product(s) to use to get the aged yellowing out of original clear C2 floor mats?

Might try bleach or a similar product in a small hidden spot to see what it does. If it is vinyl, I doubt there will be any change. Leather might bleach out. You would have to follow it up with something to restore the moisture if it is leather (saddle soap or neets foot oil.
I use a bleach and soap mixture (similar to the old Bleche Wite) to clean the white vinyl top and white walls, but it is different material than vinyl seats.
