Interior Dash Fade?

[XCAdam89]

I'm really anal about my interior, but my car is a 94' and has it's share of cosmetic issues I'm working through. My interior is black, but part of my dash looks like it's faded to a greenish color...Is there anyway to restore the color to this, or at least make it darker??

I've heard of people using a product like "Back to Black" or something similar, but I'm not sure if it will work for this. I would just replace it, but I think it's part of the actual dash itself.

Not my car, but here's a few pics for reference.

They might....I really only want to treat that one section and have it match the rest of the dash if possible. I Just dont know what is out there.

That stuff sounds pretty interesting and according to them, pretty much everyone carries it (Walmart and automotive places).... Read through the article and lmk what you think... Im thinking about picking up a can of this myself... Looks like yet another diy project for the summer

Any other ideas?? Is there anything like amorall that will just make it appear darker without physically dying it?

I dont think any spray on color will be a 100% match to the OEM vinyl. You will have the opposite effect you have now, a darker piece against a light dash.

I dont know of any way to restore the vinyl. You could swap it with a younger dash, that has not seen the amount of sun your has.

I would also suggest getting a sunvisor, to protect it better in the sun while it is sitting out. You may also want to search for other vinyl protectants. ArmorAll has a bad rap because there are petroleum distillates in their products, not something you want on your panels. I use vinylex, but there is also aerospace 303 that is a good product for protecting your interior.
