Worked the lenses over with Comet cleanser, rinsed and hit them again with Bon Ami. Made a big difference. Might do that again and then try the RainX kit again.
The plastic itself will yellow and that has to be removed. Cleaners won't do it. You have to use some kind of abrasive to sand the yellow off, as you found out.

Yup. That's what the pads in the kit are - three grades grain size sandpaper. it just didn't start at a coarse enough grit.

If you take the time it takes, it takes less time.
