Yeah, I was going to say I had some luck with brown shoe polish on my padded brown dash cover that was faded. A number of coats and the thing looks pretty good. I think the can of polish is probably carrying some dye in it as well--if not mostly dye. I used the Kiwi brand. If it's black you're dealing with I've even had luck using a permanent ink Sharpie on some surfaces.
Just some ideas. Best, Jeff 83.5 Westy LA,CA

Looks like the liquid shoe polish we used to use when we were kids (actually that's probably what it is). Comes in a shake-bottle that has a foam applicator on the top. It will "dye" your yellowed plastic black again. Michael |
