Dash and door fade

I've had the exact same problem of fading where I rest my elbow when driving our cars (Infinti G35 and my wife's Honda Accord). The ONLY dressing that I found that works is Black Again (link below). I know it says for exterior trim but it really worked well to restore the faded parts of the door on both of the cars. Now it is shiny and "greasy" at first but if you don't use too much and buff it off- it looks great and stays that way for about 2 months (my experience only). It never feels greasy after being applied sparingly and buffed though. It's also inexpensive as well. Hope this helps! Let us know what you use that works.

BLACK AGAIN - Makes Rubber and vinyl look new! Black Again is a rich 3-in-1 polymer formula that is unmatched in the industry in its ability to clean,

Again this board to the rescue with absoultly nothing but bad advise. ...ugh.... That panel is sunfaded... There is no dressing on the planet that is going to help that. The ONLY way your ever going to ACTUALLY repair that is by repainting it. The color is gone and can not come back by any other means but to re-add it. You can not re-add color by dressing it up. You can cover it it with some dressing for a few moments of half way decent looking results but as soon as that dressing wears off guess what... Yep the fade is back. If you want band-aids by all means go right ahead and band-aid it all you want. If you want o actually fix the problem go get the correct color of trim dye paint and do it the right way the first time.....

Least aggressive method first?



Try to clean it and dress it. If that doesn't work then try some of the other options. Megs apc and 303 did wonders on my bmw's interior. If you want to see the pics i'll post them one more time. The panels look cracked and discolored but after i cleaned and dressed them they looked absolutely fantastic. And they still do almost 2 years later.
 
I think painting it could make it worse. How does that match the color of the rest of the plastic? I think a good cleaning and dressing would do just fine. I think this board gives better advise than you in this case, Jakerooni.
