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,

There is  an automotive product called "Back-to-Black". 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.
