Default Canopy back to life

HI all, a friend of mine has tarnished his beatiful Shockwave canopy and since I brought one back to life, maybe 10 years ago and looked great when done, if I recall right, you sand in and out with 800 grit and then spray clear, does that sound right.
Thanks Rcpete
PS, the canopy has gone dirty yellow, maybe the clear method is only for scrathes.

Pete, sanding and clear is for scratches. Sounds like the plastic has yellowed due to UV exposure. Replacement is the only option there, I believe.
