Im looking for some advice on restoring the area round my glove box, the black finish has worn off due to use over the years, the car was like that when i got it 6 months ago.



As you can see its the area above and below the handle and near the lock, is there any `touch up` product avalible that would do a reasonable job?



Thanks in advance!



Sorry for the picture quality I took them with my phone :

Leatherique makes leather dyes that can also be used on vinyl. The key, however, is matching the color. Leatherique can custom match the color two ways. One is if you know the OEM color code, and two, if you send them a swatch. In your case that is probably not possible. I filled some dash cracks, and re-dyed a small section of the dash on a customers car. I ended up just getting their general black color, as I could not find the OEM code. It matched very well though. Anyways check out their website.
