You might try any product that is sold for cleaning plexiglass or auto lenses. I have used Meguiars PlastiX which is a clear plastic cleaner and polish. According to the bottle it removes cloudiness, yellowing, oxidation and fine scratches. I have used it on a couple of my 15 clones and it does shine them up. But, I have never had a nicotine stained machine to deal with.
It is also possible that the clear coat has simply yellowed with age.
