yellowing from smoke?

The douchebag who owned the car before me smoked, the car itself doesn't smell and there are no other problems except the aluminum right near the ashtray is a bit yellow, will anything take that out?

Interior maintance....!

I suppose you've already tried household cleaners like 409 or not. I use a
cleaner wax on my interior pieces to keep them clean and free from scratches.

I havent actually tried anything other than some general purpose interior cleaner. I wasn't sure if something else would harm the finish so I figured I'd ask here.

Hmm sounds like they had the same issue then. I assumed it was smoke cause there was ashes in the ash tray when I bought it.
