if you had wash it - try vanish on the white bits using a tooth brush and rinse in cold water afterwards
some times it might not be possible to shift the yellowing with out the other colours changing - so try getting it a bit whiter, but don't go too far or you might regret it and loose what you had !

I cant speak for gt ones, but i ruined a skyway bar pad ny putting it the washing machine, even on a gentle wash with no spin. To say i was gutted was an understatement. Spent the next few weeks scanning what was left if the logo, sorting it out using photshop type software, sourcing some white pad material, and getting a batch of them screen printed. Ended up cisting me about £120 from start to finish, but the good news is that i have 10 skyway bar pad covers. Plenty of spares in case of fading/damage. I did all this before i was aware of firebird steve's skills.
