I would wet sand and buff a small area to test how deep the yellow discoloration is. Did the oven cleaner contaion sodium hydroxide?  Maybe on too long?   I assume you were removing painted numbers?

I use alcohol to remove decals with a lot of rubbing. Do not use acetone.

You may have already considered it, but I would try "Starbrite Fiberglass Color Restorer."  I've used it for several light applications on hulls and top decks like this and am very pleased with the results. Google it, $12.99 @ wholesale marine. It'll take out discoloration & light oxidation.  Don't need a buffer & it's not very intrusive.  Just apply a small amount with a rag and really work a small area at a time, then rub off with clean dry cloth.  Even though it has PTEF, I like to apply marine polish on it afterwards.

Thanks Mark - I'll give that a try!
